Chapter 42 Wearing a Hat(1/2)

3:0, this is the largest score difference in the first round of the British Championship.

The home fans can't help but worry, will the score continue to expand?

Because there are still 30 minutes until the game.

Enough to cause a tragedy in the first round of the British Championship.

The loss and sadness are all reflected on the faces of the home team fans.

The home team players put their hands on their hips and lowered their heads.

Keith Bowie used up the last substitution, and defender Cody came on.

At this time, winning is no longer possible, but we must score at home to save face.

Coady's appearance is to use his large defensive coverage to free up all midfielders for offense.

It’s time to make a desperate move!

Huddersfield's offense immediately picked up, and center Danny Ward's header hit the crossbar.

It once gave the home fans hope.

At this moment, Ricci, who was retreating to defend, received the ball that was bounced by the crossbar at the front of the penalty area, made a sudden arrow, and drove the ball towards the opponent's half with his big foot.

The home team, which was aggressively attacking, left only defensive midfielder Coady and central defender Pelletier, who had just come on the field, in the back line. The corridors on both sides were unobstructed, giving Wilson a chance to sprint.

[An opportunity to counterattack, two against two in the frontcourt. Bournemouth’s counterattack today gave the opponent a lot of trouble.]

The commentator jumped up excitedly, and the harsh sound resounded over the stadium.

It also penetrated the hearts of fans.

They can't be stimulated anymore.

Coady strides forward and gets into position quickly. As a former central defender, he has good marking and interception awareness, and his bold tackles can often make the opponent angry on the spot.

At this time, Rossi started his coquettish movement again.

He did not move forward to receive the ball behind him, nor did he move to the left to create space for Wilson to break through.

Instead, it moved sideways towards Wilson.

His movement not only compressed Wilson's space for movement, but also brought the central defender guarding him with him.

Then, Coady's defense becomes very simple, he only needs to block the breakthrough line on the wing.

Faced with Rossi's approach, Wilson did not accuse him of not creating space for himself, but quickly knocked the ball to Rossi and suddenly started forward.

The moment Coady passed the ball, he thought Wilson would move forward, and without a moment's hesitation, he started almost at the same time as him.

Sure enough, when Rossi caught the ball, he didn't stop for a moment and pushed the ball behind him with the arch of his foot.

At this time, what the two of them were fighting for was speed.

Coady is not fast, but he occupies a favorable position on the inside and keeps interfering with Wilson, affecting his rhythm with the ball.

If the ball was thirty meters away from the goal, Wilson would never be able to break through the defense.

But the attack was launched from the midfield, more than fifty meters away from the goal.

At such a distance, Coady's speed disadvantage was completely exposed.

All I have to do is put the shovel in.

Seeing that Wilson was about to be one position ahead of him, Cody flew forward to tackle, bending his calves to destroy the opponent's center of gravity from the side and behind.

However, Wilson, who was already in an excited state during the game, leaned forward slightly when his center of gravity was disturbed, and then stepped heavily on the turf with his legs to stop the inertia of his forward dive.

After staggering a few times, Wilson relied on his balance and coordination to not only avoid falling. Instead, he adjusted his body balance and continued to move forward with the ball.

The home fans were holding their heads, and no one could stop his attack now.

Wilson faced the goalkeeper, pushed the ball into the far corner with his right foot, scored the ball steadily, and then ran wildly along the sideline.

【GOAL!!!! Riding alone through the barrier, running long distances. Wilson is like a motorcycle at this moment, overtaking is unreasonable. 】

[This is the fourth goal of the game and Wilson’s second goal of the game.]

[Before the game, many media questioned the head coach’s employment of forwards. Now, the facts tell everyone that the two starting forwards both scored twice.]

【Bournemouth, coming menacingly.】

There was no cheering at the home court for an instant, and there were only private discussions, accusations and curses from the fans.

Head coach Keith Bowie's heart dropped to rock bottom.

In the second half of last season, due to the team's poor performance, the club fired the head coach and temporarily appointed Bao Wei, then assistant coach, as the coach.

Although relegation was successful, the club has not been able to find a suitable candidate this summer, so he has been the one to take over.

After falling behind 4-0 at home in the first round, his coaching position was in jeopardy.

Hazhen, which had no fighting spirit, made another mistake in the defense in the 78th minute of the game.

Goalkeeper Smithies attacked and knocked Harry Arter to the ground in the penalty area.

Hazhen suffered another blow, penalty kick!

The first penalty taker in the team is Ritchie, so he should take the penalty.

However, there is a strange phenomenon now.

Rossi and Wilson both scored two goals. As long as one of them scores one more, they can complete the hat trick.

You know, it's not easy for a player to accomplish such a feat in a season, and it's still the first round.

No striker would miss an opportunity like this.

Richie held the ball and looked at the coach.

Eddie Howe was still excited about getting a penalty kick. He won the game by a big score in the first round, which greatly boosted his morale.

When he saw Rich's eyes asking for help, he had a hard time making a choice.

It’s appropriate to give to anyone, but how to give it?

At this time, Rossi came over and said in Wilson's ear: "Either you kick this penalty kick or I kick it, why don't we just guess the ball."

Wilson nodded and said: "Guess the guessing game. Don't cry if you lose."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and in front of the eyes of 20,000 fans, they guessed and decided on the penalty kick.

The stadium was filled with boos out of shame and anger, but more boos were given to the home team players.

This is not because of the team's poor performance, they can watch their opponents be so arrogant and domineering.

At this moment, voices sounded on the court asking the head coach to dismiss get out of class.

Rossi won the guessing game, patted Wilson's shoulder to express comfort, then took the ball from Richie's hand and stood up twelve yards.

Shots: 61, Penalties: 63.

This is Rossi’s ability value so far.

Although Rossi scored twice in this game, the two goals can only show that his running position, foot skills and awareness of grabbing points are top-notch.

As for shooting skills, I don't know.

But Eddie Howe is not worried about penalty kicks. The most important thing is his mentality.

No matter how good your shooting skills are, if your mentality is not stable enough, you will still miss free throws.

Rossi stepped on the turf with his right foot to ensure it was flat, then placed the ball on the penalty spot and took three steps back.

Goalkeeper Smithies' goal was penetrated four times in this game, but they were all caused by mistakes on the defensive line and had little to do with him.

While adjusting his gloves, he looked into Rossi's eyes.

Generally speaking, when a newcomer takes a penalty kick, his eyes will subconsciously look at the angle of the shot.

Of course, this cannot be used as a direct criterion for judgment.

Which side to pounce on is determined based on the kicker's stance, footing and leg swing when shooting.

First of all, Rossi's position is behind the left side of the ball, with a slightly smaller angle to the ball.

Usually when you select a position like this, the shot angle will be very small, and the direction is consistent with the foot touching the ball. It is very difficult to hit the opposite angle.

And for a newcomer like Rossi, choosing an angle is not as stable as a powerful volley.

These two pieces of information have convinced the goalkeeper that Rossi will definitely volley hard to his right, and also to the lower right corner.

drop!

As soon as the referee blew his whistle outside the penalty area, boos suddenly broke out in the stadium, disturbing Rossi.

Rossi's shoulders sank slightly and he started to run.

He first took two quick and powerful steps forward, as if he was using a run-up to accumulate energy.

The goalkeeper spreads his arms, adjusts his body in small steps, and tries his best to save the ball at any time.

After Rossi landed his right foot on the second step, he suddenly slowed down his entire movement and took a small step forward with his left foot.
