Chapter 66 The Unstoppable Rossi(1/2)

Bang bang ~ oh!

Bang bang ~ oh!

The home fans raised their hands above their heads, high-fived twice and roared.

Sonorous and powerful.

From leading, to falling behind, to evening, their mood was like riding a volcano.

Fans gradually discovered that after Rossi appeared, they were particularly looking forward to what he would bring.

Rossi came to the sidelines and shook hands with Eddie Howe to celebrate.

This move undoubtedly told everyone that they had no contradictions.

Only then did they suddenly wake up.

The so-called "snow hiding" is just speculation by the media and fans.

The reporter just used a video of Rossi training sloppily and made wild speculations.

In fact, head coach Eddie Howe has never expressed any views or remarks on this matter.

As for the incident that the last round of the league was "hidden", it is untenable.

Player rotation is a normal thing.

"Good job, Luo!"

Eddie Howe covered Rossi's face with his hands, his eyes full of pride.

Just a moment ago, he was worried that Rossi would lose the ball. But the next second, this beautiful pass over the ball completely conquered everyone.

3 minutes of injury time.

After Leeds United kicked off, the players were stunned for a moment.

How should we score this score?

Offensive or defensive?

hesitate.

It reflects the weakness of Redfern's lack of on-the-spot command.

No matter how much time is left, the head coach should implement specific ideas to everyone on the team.

Instead of letting the players not know how to play next.

The Bournemouth team seized the opportunity and used the frontcourt pressure to steal the ball again.

After Wilson got the ball, he used his speed to directly pass the midfielder. Facing the defense of full-back Berardi, he started to pretend to pass the ball. When the opponent blocked it, he suddenly passed the ball horizontally.

Berardi was not completely shaken away and hurriedly blocked the ball. At the same time, center back Jessup also moved towards him.

Wilson took advantage of the rhythm pause, once again moved the ball laterally, moved away from the angle, and followed up with a shot.

However, in order to avoid the defense of two players, he moved the ball too far away and adjusted his body balance in a hurry. The shot did not hit the right spot and went over the crossbar and flew into the crowd of fans in the stands.

Although the shot missed, it still won applause from the fans.

Drop, drop, drop~~~~

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. Bournemouth regretted the draw and their winning streak came to a halt.

But in the standings, Bournemouth is still firmly at the top.

After the game, Eddie Howe attended the press conference and said that although the game was difficult, the players overcame the existing problems very well.

And regretted Wilson's shot at the last minute.

"What is your evaluation of Na Luo's performance? Are the discords that have been rumored before true?"

Eddie Howe said: "I have never publicly criticized Luo, I only praise him. Because his performance was perfect, as can be seen from the result of this game."

The media off the field are not stupid. Rossi's sloppy training is simply a smoke bomb. If they continue to dwell on this issue, they will be asking for trouble.

"With Luo's outstanding performance, has the team ever considered signing him officially?"

Eddie Howe said: "We respect every player's choice and the spirit of the contract. But Ronaldo is still a member of the Bournemouth team and he will fight for the team."

After the press conference, Eddie Howe also called the club's senior management non-stop.

As the media mentioned, Rossi's performance will inevitably not be remembered by other teams. If he doesn't take action early, it will become someone else's.

He also knows very well that it is difficult for a genius like Luo to stay in a team like Bournemouth.

But at least, stay for two years until he leads the team to the Premier League and completes a major initiative in team history.

Bournemouth travel to Watford on Saturday.

This English Championship team has gained momentum in recent seasons and is a favorite for promotion.

In the 12-13 season, they participated in the promotion play-offs and met Leicester City in the semi-finals.

The total score of the two rounds is 2:2. Leicester City has one more away goal, so Watford needs to score another goal to advance.

In the last 22 seconds, Leicester City got a penalty kick opportunity, but the Watford goalkeeper saved the penalty kick and launched a counterattack, and beat Leicester City, locking the final total score at 3:2.

In the final, they lost to Crystal Palace 0:1 and unfortunately lost the qualification for promotion.

This season, Watford is recruiting new players and is determined to qualify for the Premier League.

In this game, Rossi is on standby.

Only 4 minutes into the game, Watford defender Tamash had a handball in the penalty area and Bournemouth received a penalty kick.

Gomez, the veteran goalkeeper who once helped the team reverse Leicester City, once again showed his magic and bravely saved the penalty kick, which instantly ignited the atmosphere at home.

The missed penalty kick is a big psychological pressure for the visiting team.

In the midfield battle, they also refused to give up an inch of ground.

In just ten minutes, four players from both teams received yellow cards, which shows the fierce confrontation.

With a draw, the two teams entered the halftime break.

Eddie Howe did not deploy new tactics. He only asked his players to continue to press at a high position and quickly launch a counterattack once they steal the ball here.

At the beginning of the second half, Watford made the first substitution, replacing Tamash, who was in poor form in the first half and allowed his opponent to win a penalty kick, to stabilize the defense.

Then there is the adjustment of the right winger's position, replacing the former Leicester City winger Lloyd Dell who lacks physical fitness, and continuing to strengthen the wing offensive.

In the 56th minute, Watford used an attack from the left wing to pass the ball to the goal. Unfortunately, forward Vydra's shot was resolved by Bournemouth goalkeeper Boruc.

Three minutes later, Bournemouth retaliated. Stanislas suddenly cut inside and continuously dribbled the ball horizontally at the front of the penalty area, shaking off the defense and gaining space for shooting.

Unfortunately, the curve ball taken by his right foot was rejected by the post.

Both teams had good chances on the wing, but they always lacked luck when it came to the final goal.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Rossi replaced Stanislas and served as a single arrow, and Wilson returned to the left midfielder position.

Only ten minutes later, Ricci passed the ball from the right wing accurately to Rossi's feet.

The Watford team did not dare to neglect the rising star in hot form, and quickly double-teamed Rossi to defend him, forcing him to move the ball.

Two weeks ago, Eddie Howe asked Rossi to do targeted training on speed and explosiveness, and he did achieve some results.

In the last round of the game against Leeds United, Rossi's goal was based on the improvement in starting speed.

Excellent anti-offside awareness, coupled with good starting speed, can make people feel from the senses that Rossi's speed has indeed become stronger.

But once he gets the ball on the spot and escapes from the breakthrough, he cannot take advantage of it.

"Give more balls behind you," Rossi said to Ricci.

Movement is the most effective means of forward attack, and teammates' passing is particularly critical.

A minute later, Ricci once again passed a through ball. Rossi's instant start left the defender behind.

Watford's defense was taken aback. What kind of movement was this? It was so spooky.

Fortunately, there was a deep-lying central defender who came forward to mark the ball in time to limit Rossi's progress.

During the counterattack, the speed must not be slowed down. Rossi took the ball without hesitation and moved to the left.

Although this is an open space, Rossi's pass was too deep.

If it were someone else, he might not be able to catch up, but if it was Wilson who showed up here, he would definitely be able to catch up.

After Rossi passed the ball, he immediately ran in the opposite direction and attracted the central defender away.

"Damn it, Luo, the news is so big, it's going to tire me out."

Wilson complained as he ran. Not only did he have to compete with the full-backs who were returning to defend, he also had to catch the ball before it went out of the baseline.

I have been running for almost 80 minutes and I am exhausted.

But he believed he could catch it.

Because Rossi said that as long as he runs out of position, the ball will reach him.

Sure enough, running without the ball from a long distance, the moment Wilson was about to catch up with the ball, he put a distance between himself and the defender.
