"The opponent has no wide players. When attacking, the forward will pull up and temporarily act as a winger. The midfielder will fill in the space in time and temporarily act as a forward. This requires their players to have very high comprehensive abilities."

Although Eddie Howe pointed out the opponent's shortcomings, he still has not found a way to break through the opponent's defense.

Rotherham are pursuing a draw. First of all, their mentality is more stable than them.

Moreover, the offensive ability they displayed after conceding the ball is something that Bournemouth cannot underestimate.

"In the second half, the opponent will definitely strengthen their defense. We will change to 4-3-3. Although it is an offense, we have to attract the opponent's players."

"Luo, Wilson, and Ryan, the three of you must be flexible in your positions, change positions more often, and try to get the ball on both sides of them."

"Ian, Adam, you should also wait for the right moment to advance forward. They don't have wide players, so don't be afraid of their counterattack."

"O'Kane, Gosling, your horizontal coverage area should be larger and try to help the defense."

Speaking of which, Eddie Howe had nothing to say.

The rest can only be left to his disciples to complete.

Steve Evans was very satisfied with the performance of his players, at least from the first half, they were able to strictly implement the assigned tactics.

Especially in the attacking midfielder position, Pringle's role is the biggest contributor to containing the opponent's counterattack.

Steve asked the players to continue to maintain this rhythm in the second half and not to attack easily.

Because the two wings of the 4-3-1-2 formation are open, it is very easy for the opponent to counterattack.

After the start of the second half, Bournemouth easily pushed the ball across half-court and was immediately pressed.

Their constant movement on the outside brought the game into "garbage time".

Once Rotherham saw the ball passed back into the opponent's half, they immediately gave up the press.

In short, you can give the ball to you, but they must firmly grasp the space for passing the ball.

This reminded the home fans of the 2010 World Cup. After Spain took the lead against Portugal, that sleepy pass was passed from the goalkeeper to the forward, and then from the forward to the goalkeeper.

Shhh!!!!

The New York Stadium suddenly burst into boos.

[The fans at the scene used boos to express their dissatisfaction with the players. Compared with the first half, the game process was indeed very different.]

The commentator was also a little embarrassed. Compared to the first half, although offense and defense were clearly defined, the tactical intentions of the two teams were very obvious and there was good physical confrontation, which gave fans something to look forward to.

As for the second half, why did this pass-and-control style of play turn into La Liga's lethargic style of play?

The English league emphasizes confrontation and attack.

Wouldn't it be easier to shorten the length of the court and widen the width of the court so that both sides can quickly advance to each other's half?

That kind of rapid speed of sprinting into the opponent's penalty area makes the fans' blood boil.

But what does it mean now, there is no speed, no confrontation, coach, do you know the ball?

During the New Year period, we are here to find passion, not to sleep.

The fans of the home team booed, not only the Bournemouth team, but also showed their dissatisfaction with their own team.

"Hey, don't be a coward. Attack us and let them know how powerful we are."

"I'm so timid, I'm about to fall asleep. Hurry up and attack me."

"I paid money to watch the offense, not to sleep. If you keep playing like this, give me a refund."

Fans in the front row near the stadium began to roar into the stadium. Although the players were concentrating on the game, they could still faintly hear the fans' dissatisfaction.

Especially when the attack was concentrated on the wing, the fans waved their objects to express their dissatisfaction, and the complaints could be clearly heard in their ears.

The Rotherham players also felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

This is all arranged by the head coach, what does it have to do with us?

If you want to scold the coach, go ahead and scold him.

Although I feel a little unhappy, what the fans said is also true.

The opponent has no way to break into their own penalty area, and there is no threat when passing the ball. You can press forward appropriately to put pressure on them.

Besides, the opponent's forwards all retreated so deep, far away from the penalty area, and lost their offensive ability.

Even if there was a counterattack, they wouldn't be able to fight back.

Gradually, the attacking desire in the Rotherham players was brought out.

This is a normal psychological phenomenon. In competitive sports, after players begin to gain an advantage, their confidence will increase, which will prompt their desire to attack to expand.

No one would pass up a good opportunity and just watch from behind.

Moreover, the dissatisfaction expressed by fans is also a factor that increases their desire.

Just because the coach said not to attack easily does not mean that you will never counterattack.

If there is an opportunity to counterattack, you still have to take advantage of it.

Under such circumstances, Rotherham began to slowly move up the formation.

Their advancement is not blind, and they still maintain the mutual response between the various lines of defense.

Especially the protection of the wing.

In the 48th minute, after Rotherham made a steal, the midfielder quickly moved forward to the center, giving the full-back space to move forward.

Full-back Brindley, who assisted in the first half, once again brought the ball to Bournemouth's wing and passed the ball to the goal.

Clark-Harris and Cook, who followed up in the middle, took off at the same time to compete for the ball.

Due to interference, Clark missed the right spot and the ball drew a weak arc and was easily picked off by the goalkeeper.

This attack did not result in a goal, but the fans saw a wonderful counterattack, and the applause immediately burst into thunder.

This is the English league, get those useless passes out of here.

The passion and craziness of the fans has also been transmitted to the players. They believe that they can also play exciting offensive football against a team that has remained undefeated in the league this season.

Eddie Howe became a little worried. Although he wanted to induce his opponent to attack, the quality of the counterattack just now was really scary.

What he is worried about now is whether his attack can penetrate the opponent's attack.

If you want to break the opponent's "iron barrel formation", one of the most effective ways is to get the ball in the two rib areas.

Because the more dangerous the place, the more focused the opponent's defense is.

Taking the ball here can attract more players and create space for teammates.

In order to help the frontcourt attack, the Bournemouth team's defense also pressed through half the court to participate in the team's attack.

This has another advantage, which is to induce the opponent to see opportunities to counterattack.

Bournemouth still focuses its attack on the wings because there is a lot of space here.

After Ryan Fraser got the ball from the wing, Rossi moved quickly laterally to respond.

At the same time, right back Ian Hart also joined in.

This forced defender Brindley, who originally planned to mark Rossi, to switch to marking the forward full-back.

But Brindley did not immediately communicate with right center back Craig Morgan about who would defend Rossi.

This moment of hesitation gave Rossi room to get the ball in the ribs.

After Ryan Fraser passed the ball to Rossi, he cut in laterally and formed a 90° right-angle movement with Ian.

And Rossi in the middle has two comfortable ball release points.

Rossi looked at Ryan Fraser who was running laterally, but pushed his right foot in a straight line and gave the ball to Ian who was running forward.

This pass that "strikes east and strikes west" instantly confused Rotherham's defense.

Because their attention was all drawn to the direction where Rossi's eyes were looking.

Ian did not stop the ball and swept the ball directly to the goal.

Because he knows that as long as he takes one more step, the opponent's central defender will most likely return to defend in place.

The opportunities created by Rossi will be wasted.

When Rossi stepped aside, Wilson moved to the center and acted as center forward.

When Rossi passed the ball to the wing, he moved forward smartly.

[The ball is passed to the goal, Wilson goes forward and hits the goal!!!]

【GOAL!!!!!】

[The ball is scored and Bournemouth takes the lead again.]

[This is a cooperation from the wing. Luo took the ball in the ribs and used a very deceptive passing action to pass the ball to his teammates on the wing. ]

[Rotherham’s defense in this position made a major mistake. Where did the defensive midfielder go?]

The commentator watched the replay with great confusion. It turned out that after Rossi got the ball here, defensive midfielder Paul Green did not put pressure on him immediately, but looked sideways to observe the situation behind him.

He was watching to see if there was any chance of counterattack.

Because Bournemouth's full-backs and midfielders are all up, the huge space on the left is perfect for counterattacks.

But no one thought that Rossi could tear apart the defense with such a ghostly pass from this position.

[I believe that after this goal, the next game will not be boring anymore. 】

The narrator laughed loudly.
