Chapter 79 Chris, aka Big Rosie

"Chris, what are you kicking, it's a mess."

In the team training match two months ago, Chris Wood was sprayed bloody by the head coach.

After leaving Rossi and coming to Ulloa, Chris Wood's position in the Leicester City team is still unstable.

There is no starter in the league, and more often, he will play in the remaining garbage time of the game.

"How many times have I said, don't stand still all the time, so how do you catch the ball?"

"Also, you play the ball too slowly, which will seriously affect the offensive speed of the entire team."

Pierson scolded him for nothing.

Before coming to Leicester City, he played at Millwall, played 19 games and scored 11 goals. He is a veritable striker.

The transfer value of 120 million euros, for the 22-year-old Chris Wood, is an affirmation of his ability.

However, since the promotion, not to mention the substitutes, it is difficult to even enter the big list.

Only those innocuous cup games will have the chance to play.

After training, Chris Wood was called alone to the tactical room, where Pearson and Craig were waiting for him.

This is to inform me that there will be no place for me in the team in the future?
Being able to play in the Premier League is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Chris Wood.

For this reason, he is still training during the holidays, in order to quickly adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League in the new season.

However, he only got the chance to start in the first two rounds of the English League Cup.

At this time, Rossi had already killed all sides in the British Championship, and he was still waiting here.

The Championship and the Premier League are not at the same level.

Chris Wood can only use this excuse to comfort himself.

"Chris, sit down first, we want to have a good chat with you."

In Craig's words, there is always a feeling that the director of the Academic Affairs Office persuades students to quit.

"I won't go around in circles anymore." Craig said: "Chris, with your current style of play, you can't integrate into our team system at all. Your high point competition is no longer an absolute advantage in the Premier League. "

"Besides, in the Premier League, where the offensive and defensive transitions are very fast, you can't help the team much."

"So, you have to change your style of play."

Hey, it's a change, not a transfer?

Chris, who had been lowering his head, suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up.

Pearson's expression was still serious, and he said lightly: "If you can't integrate into my system, then get out as soon as possible."

can, i can.

Chris nodded his head.

How can I change it?

Craig started the projector, opened a file containing more than a dozen videos, and said: "These are the current top centers, and their coping abilities in the team, you should take a look first."

After Chris Wood read it carefully, Craig asked, "Tell me, what are their characteristics?"

"Solid shooting skills, erratic movement, can make the ball for the teammate who gets in, and can also stretch the space."

Craig praised: "You are right. Modern football requires players to have higher and higher comprehensive abilities, and strikers are not necessarily just a single offense."

Chris Wood nodded, a striker like himself, in the past, was a traditional center who took root in the penalty area and waited for his teammates to pass.

But now the traditional center-forward style of play has gradually disappeared. Because of the rise of pass-and-control football, the standing center has less and less opportunities to get the ball.

For teams that pay more and more attention to team football, the center is not only responsible for offense, but sometimes must retreat to participate in the team's defense.

After retracing, when the counterattack starts, the center must either have a certain ability to advance forward, or have the ability to pass the ball to teammates, which requires the center to have more skills.

Chris Wood knows all this, but he doesn't know where to start if he wants to transform.

Kane, Benzema?

They are flexible in body and have an advantage in speed. In this regard, Chris is an absolute shortcoming.

Ibrahimovic, Lewandowski?
These two are too strong physically, and their foot skills are also very good, and their finishing ability is super. Without several years of training in the top league, they can't reach such a height.

Ronaldo, Messi?
Not to mention how abnormal the dribbling and speed are, other skills are also very solid and belong to the all-rounder.

Giroud, Pellet?
The technical characteristics of these two people are by far the most suitable for me.

Kress shook his head with a smile, opened another folder, and said: "Giroud and Pellet are the heights we hope you can reach. But now, you must learn to run without the ball like this."

After clicking on the video, Chris Wood was taken aback. Isn’t the black-haired boy in the video exactly Rossi?

Let me learn from him, are you kidding me?
"Don't look down on Luo." Korek said: "If you learn how to run without the ball, it is the first step for you to become a top center."

After helping Nugent score, Chris Wood felt no less excitement than his own goal.

Think about it, the two defenders care about their own running position, but ignore Nugent's forward penetration. Isn't it uncomfortable to use the running position to assist teammates?
After the goal, Nugent hugged Chris tightly.

Since Rossi left the team, he has rarely had such unmarked forward opportunities.

"here you go."

Chris Wood, who was praised by his teammates, looked at Rossi near the midfield.

I will definitely surpass you.

Re-tee.

The period after Leicester City's goal happened to be when their morale was high.

Eddie Howe hastily deployed to let the players strengthen the quick press in the frontcourt, and fouls were not hesitated.

It is necessary to contain the momentum of the Leicester City team during this period of time.

15 minutes, 8 fouls, [-] yellow cards.

Bournemouth's defense is crumbling, and every steal makes the fans very worried.

Once this is a mistake in the grab, it will give the opponent a fatal counterattack opportunity.

Is this the gap with the Premier League teams?

Although they used fouls to stop Leicester City's pass and control advancement, they still have a strong offensive point:

A long pass from the backcourt was transferred and directly found the striker Chris Wood.

In the 38th minute, James' transfer of the ball was accurately given to the front center.

After Chris Wood secured the ball with his back on the right rib, Cook's defense naturally followed, and teammate Ian Hart double-teamed him.

But after Chris took the ball in a small step, he created a pass space, and immediately knocked the ball across to Albrighton who was plugging in.

When the latter advanced, he took small steps to adjust his body balance, and after accumulating enough strength, he shot furiously.

The ball whizzed past, rubbed against the crossbar, and flew to the stands behind the goal, immediately arousing a wave of people.

Tyndall, assistant coach of the Bournemouth team, took the recorded data and said to Eddie Howe: "Boss, this center forward's style of play is very similar to Luo."

"Just a little Rosie."

To say that the ones who know Rossi's skills best, apart from the opponent's defenders, are their coaching team.

Running position, ball distribution, these are very similar to Rossi.

And they also know that before that, Chris Wood was a traditional center.

Eddie Howe sneered, "Little Rossi? In my opinion, this is Big Rossi."

Rosie: Ouch!
Constantly creating opportunities for his teammates on the front line, Chris Wood became more confident as he played.

In terms of support, he is already at home.

In the 42nd minute, Chris took the ball from the side and did not pass the ball. Instead, he chose to break through and pass from the bottom, sweeping the ball to the goal.

In the stands behind the goal, the home fans exclaimed, can this guy even break through?

The pass was swept to the goal, and Cook, who returned to the defense in time, broke the baseline and Leicester City got a corner kick.

"Nigel, it seems that Chris has played with confidence."

A center forward chooses to attack in a way he is not good at on the wing, which means that his body and spirit are quite loose.

Bold art is higher.

Mahrez took a corner kick and the ball flew back.

Here, Chris Wood is double-teamed by three people.

However, the ball was not looking for this high point, and Chris's take-off was just a feint.

The ball was given to Konokite who plugged in after it arrived.

At this time, Bournemouth's defense is mostly concentrated in the back. Even if Konokite grabs the spot, there are so many people in front of the goal, and the shooting angle is blocked to a certain extent.

But he cleverly headed the ball back near the front post.

Here, the team's second highest point, captain Morgan has jumped high, overpowering Elphick, and heading the ball to the middle.

The attention of the Bournemouth team's defense line, from the back point to the front point, and then to the middle, kept their eyes on the ball, completely ignoring the existence of offensive players.

At this time, Chris Wood appeared at the landing point smartly, grabbed the ball before the goalkeeper, shot angrily, and sent the ball into the goal.

2:0! ! !

In the first half, Leicester City completed the task assigned by the head coach and led by two goals.

Pearson leaned back in his seat and smiled.

"Okay, we can celebrate in advance."
