Chapter 59 Intermission
Chapter 56Intermission

"I am very dissatisfied with your performance in the first half!!!"

Scolari was furious in the dressing room, but apart from some Chelsea players who listened carefully, some players were doing their own things.

Because Scolari said this sentence in Spanish, Scolari's English is not good, and until now, he needs to rely on translators to communicate with most players.
"We need to attack in the second half!!"

When the translator spoke Scolari's words, the Chelsea players turned around and listened carefully.

"Didier comes on in the second half!!"

Drogba, who was still sitting in the locker room and wandering, immediately woke up after hearing these words.

This Brazilian old man finally thinks of me when he needs to attack! !
Drogba was injured for a period of time at the beginning of the season, but when he returned from injury, his main position was robbed by Anelka.It would be fine if Chelsea maintained their strong form at the beginning of the season, but the problem is that in the past two months, Chelsea's state can only be described as very poor, and single striker Anelka has also fallen into a scoring drought.

It stands to reason that Scolari should try to use Drogba at this time, and many media also made it easy for Chelsea to try the combination of Drogba and Anelka as a double striker. However, the stubborn Scolari still insisted on using Anelka as the starting single striker and put Drogba on the bench.

Scolari's stubbornness is beyond the name
Anelka's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he even felt a little flustered.

The monster Drogba is famous, and Anelka's main position is occupied when Drogba is injured. If Drogba plays to replace him, and Scolari insists on the single striker tactics, then Anelka will sit on the bench.

No player is willing to be a substitute. In addition to the desire to play, there is also an obvious income gap between the substitute and the main player.At least sitting on the bench, don't even think about appearance bonuses, goal awards, etc. There is also a big gap in winning bonuses compared to starting players.

The rest of Chelsea's players reacted mixedly.

Lampard and Cech were overjoyed. Compared with Anelka, Drogba obviously had a more harmonious relationship with these Chelsea elders, and the tacit understanding between them was also higher.

Even if he is a single forward, Drogba's impact on the penalty area is stronger than that of Anelka. Anelka is faster and is good at scoring goals in counterattacks.

Anyway, Lampard and others couldn't figure out why the Brazilian old man insisted on using Anelka instead of Drogba.If it is okay to play against a strong team, Anelka's counterattack ability is not bad.But in this kind of game, when it is necessary to attack the tough positions, putting Anelka on the field who is easy to lose the ball under pressure and can't stand up to physical confrontation is almost equivalent to Chelsea playing one less player.Moreover, Anelka's state has been sluggish recently. Chelsea's offense was like constipation in the first half, which is largely related to the lack of a tenable fulcrum in the frontcourt.

"Joe! You rest first in the second half!!"

Scolari's words made Chelsea generals look at each other.

Replace Joe Cole?
Is this to play double striker?
Chelsea have not tried a double-forward formation much this season.

Joe Cole was also surprised. He didn't expect that the victim who replaced Drogba would be himself, but Joe Cole couldn't help it. After all, the team needs to attack now.

"Okay, now we have two strikers!" Scolari looked around at the Chelsea players who were watching him.

"Now we have two centre-forwards, so one has to play wide and one in the middle, and sometimes change positions!"

Lampard raised his forehead.
This old man is heartbreakingly stubborn.
Up to now, I have not given up the idea of ​​playing a single striker. Are Anelka and Drogba candidates for playing on the wing?These two are both centers!
"Anyway, I don't play wide!" Anelka said, looking up.

Didier Drogba frowned, you don't play on the wing, so why don't you let me play?

Just when Drogba was about to stand up and teach this ignorant Frenchman a lesson, the door of the locker room was pushed open.

Abu came in.

The locker room fell silent.

Scolari was a little embarrassed, on the one hand because Abramovich walked into the locker room, annihilating an impending conflict, and on the other hand, Scolari was also annoyed by Abramovich's behavior in the locker room.

The locker room is sacred. No matter what happens in it, only the players and coaches know. Any player who leaks information about the locker room will be isolated by other players.

And outsiders will never be allowed to enter the locker room, especially during the intermission!
"I want to win!!!" The Russians did not destroy the consciousness of football tradition at all! !

"I want a big victory! Let that Chinese who speaks outrageous words get out of this stadium in embarrassment!!"

Abramovich growled, the veins on the Russian's forehead popped, his heavy breathing echoed in the spacious home team locker room, and then he walked out of the locker room and slammed the door.

shoot!
Gao Bo poked the tactical board with one hand!
"Defend for another 10 minutes in the second half!!! We will see the winner in 10 minutes!!!"

The Luton players sat around. Compared to the spacious home team dressing room, the visiting team’s dressing room was small and cramped, and the sound insulation was not good. The noise from the pitch could be heard clearly and unmistakably, so Gao Bo had to raise his voice so that the players could hear him clearly.

Adam White's face was full of excitement. Gao Bo had already said before that he would play in about 65 minutes of the second half, and he would be the team's offensive center of gravity by then! !
"You will be the winner of this game!!!"

When Gao Bo patted Adam on the shoulder and said this, Adam was almost trembling with excitement.

This is against Chelsea, and playing as a key player to change the game against such a powerful player made the 17-year-old Adam extremely excited.

"Don't get too excited, kid." Gao Bo rubbed Adam's thick curly hair, "Calm down!! As a professional player, you should keep calm at all times except after scoring a goal!!"

"Yes!! Boss!!"

Adam White puffed out his chest, and there was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

The intermission passed quickly. When all the players walked out of the locker room, Gao Bo looked at the backs of his players.

After defeating Chelsea, it is estimated that many of these boys will become famous with one goal.
Gao Bo smiled, walked out of the dressing room, and closed the door behind him.
