Chapter 77
Players waited to enter the stadium channel, and Rossi saw many acquaintances.

Morgan, Nugent, Mahrez, and Konoquet all hugged them very warmly.

"Luo, it's all your news recently. I'm really happy for you for your achievements here." Mahrez smiled.

Rossi also said with a smile: "You have been practicing in the Premier League for so long, you will have to be merciful later."

There was a gloomy flash in Mahrez's eyes.

Last season, Mahrez has become a regular substitute player for the team.

But this season, due to the joining of Ulloa, his living space has been compressed.

The same is true for Konokite on the side. He and Mahrez often started at the same time before, but now they are competing for a position.

Coupled with poor grades, Pearson chose to use veterans more, trying to be safe.

Only in the cup games did the two get playing time.

After exchanging pleasantries, Rossi saw James behind Morgan.

When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous.

James raised his head slightly, the corners of his mouth twitching, with a smug look on his face.

Rossi moved to Bournemouth and he was the culprit.

But instead he made a name for himself here, which was a blessing in disguise.

But one yard counts for one yard, this hatred, Rossi still remembers.

Under the leadership of the referee, players from both sides entered the field, and the home fans instantly boiled, holding up the scarves with the team logo in their hands, forming a sea of ​​red and black.

After the simple ceremony, the visiting team Leicester City, led by Captain Morgan, shook hands with the referee and the home team to show friendship and fair play.

The captains of both sides guessed in the middle circle, Bournemouth chose the side, and Leicester City kicked off first.

[Good evening everyone, this game is about to start. This is the first game of the English League Cup round of 16 this season. Bournemouth vs. Leicester City at home. 】

[This season, the Bournemouth team has a strong momentum, unbeaten in 14 league rounds, ranking first in the standings.Last week, they 8:0 bloodbath Birmingham, showing extraordinary strength. 】

[This season, Leicester City, as a newly promoted team, ranks fourth from the bottom in the league, and the situation is not optimistic.But they can reach the top 16 of the League Cup, which is also a good result. 】

Goalkeeper Ben Hammer.

At the beginning of the game, Leicester City launched a crazy attack.

Having practiced in the Premier League, they quickly mastered the rhythm of the game, using the wing attack to frequently put pressure on Bournemouth's defense.

This summer, Leicester City exempted veteran Cambiasso from Inter Milan to strengthen the team's midfield defense.

The 34-year-old veteran, no matter in terms of defensive strength and game experience, has injected strong spiritual power into Leicester City's defense.

The midfield guarded by him can allow the two central midfielders to organize offenses and advance assists very comfortably.

In the Premier League, Pearson will match him with a young player who can run to make up for his lack of physical fitness.

Facing Bournemouth, as a single midfielder, his more role is to liberate the offensive ability of the two midfielders.

After all, the opponent is the Championship team.

In just 1 minute of the opening, Leicester City created opportunities on the wing.

James' slip-in, which attracted the attention of Bournemouth's entire left wing, gave Albrighton a space to go forward.

[Junior Pearson is very active on the wing. His breakthrough cross from the baseline is the offensive weapon of the Leicester City team on the wing. 】

[The ball is passed, and when it comes to the goal, Chris heads the goal. 】

Hey!
The home fans were shocked into a cold sweat.

Chris Wood's header was slightly above the crossbar and almost hit the goal.

Although everyone played in the English Championship last season, in just a few months, the Bournemouth team clearly felt that the opponent's game rhythm has improved.

In a team competitive game, even if the tempo is only accelerated by 0.1s, the pressure on the defender will virtually double.

Bournemouth have to adapt to the rhythm of the opponent and master their own rhythm.

Although a 4-4-2 lineup is formed, in many cases, Rossi has to retreat to the midfield to help the team control the rhythm.

Although Eddie Howe said that the game was mainly defensive, he did not deploy Harry Art or Ricky, who are better at organizing.

The two wingers are speed players, and there is no change in defense.

Once counterattacked, the two quickly advanced, forming a trident with Wilson on the front line, and directly inserted into the hinterland of the Leicester City team.

In the 5th minute, Rossi withdrew his organization to attract the attention of the central defender and avant-garde, and then quickly handed the ball to Gosling, who inserted in the back. The latter directly sent a diagonal long pass and hit the opponent's right rib.

Meanwhile, Stanislas, Ryan Fraser and Wilson all shot at each other.

Facing James' defense, Stanislas wanted to use fake moves to sway the defense and create breakthrough space.

But James followed very closely, and his recovery speed was not weak at all. After grabbing a favorable position, he decisively shoveled and took the ball back.

[Beautiful, little Pearson performed quite well on both offense and defense. 】

[At the beginning of the season, fans were still criticizing him for his poor sense of defensive position, and his assists were not a threat.After the old Pearson put him in the cup experience, he performed very well. 】

[In the first two rounds of the league, he also squeezed out the main right back De Laet and became the team's starter. 】

[His performance is said to have attracted the attention of England coach Hodgson.In addition, he has participated in the training camp of the England U21 team, and it is very likely that he will join the national team in the future. 】

After seeing his son's performance, the old Pearson nodded in satisfaction.

James' growth can not only make up for the team's defense.

His plug-in assists have enriched the team's side play changes.

His side assists not only liberate the offensive ability of the right midfielder and right winger.

An excellent bottom pass, and can also deliver shells to the outflank point in the middle.

Now it's just in its infancy, and over time, it will definitely grow into an outstanding player.

Hey!
In a burst of amazement, James decisively shoveled the ball from Stanislas' feet and launched a counterattack.

At this point, the gap behind Stanislas was exposed.

James cleverly instigated a long pass from the backcourt, and Leicester City attacked in the frontcourt, instantly forming a numerical advantage.

"Back to defense, back to defense!"

Eddie Howe broke out in a cold sweat. This Leicester City team deserves to have played in the Premier League. At this moment, the long pass rush they are good at is like an arrow on the string, flying like lightning.

After receiving a pass from James, Albrighton quickly advanced forward while observing his teammates' running positions.

When the 4-3-3 formation changes from defense to offense, the two wingers not only have to stretch to the two sides, but the other two midfielders also need to move forward quickly to attract the defense.

Albrighton observed Nugent on the right and played the ball behind the defender.

With just two passes, Leicester City pushed the ball from their backcourt to Bournemouth's left rib.

After Nugent took the ball, he used a fake move to sway the space, and then broke through to the outside.

Ian Hart hastily chased back to limit Nugent's pass.

But this veteran is very experienced. After the breakthrough, he used an emergency stop to mobilize Ian Hart's center of gravity.

When the opponent's center of gravity is unstable, quickly lead the ball forward with the right foot to speed up the breakthrough.

This change of pace allows him enough space to pass the ball in front of the goal.

[Nugent sweeps the ball to the goal to see how his teammates respond. 】

[Oh, it's a pity that the ball was destroyed in advance by the chasing defender. 】

[Let's see who is chasing back? 】

[Oh, it's actually Luo, the striker Luo. 】

[It's unbelievable that he actually returned to the penalty area and participated in the defense. 】

[Is he still the familiar stroller? 】
