Chapter 82: Substitution
Chapter 82 A desperate substitution
Amidst the overwhelming boos, debris in the hands of the home fans rained down on James.
This is James' first goal this season.
From counterattack to goal, the idea is clear, concise and practical, and it will definitely be selected as one of the best goals of the week, no, of the year.
Captain Morgan ran over, hugged and celebrated, and pulled him back.
Although provoking home fans will not be punished by the referee, it is very likely that they will be fined by the Football Association after the game. This is not without lessons.
Just celebrate appropriately.
In the west stand, the two presidents did not behave excessively, but from the subtle body movements, their moods were completely opposite.
Vichai's smile flashed across his face, and he clapped calmly after high-fiving his assistant.
"Miss Lott, you should celebrate the victory with us tonight."
Just now she saw Rossi helping her teammate to score a goal. She clapped happily and looked forward to his goal with joy.
I didn't expect to be scored by an opponent so quickly, and it was James who was annoying.
Jeff Mostyn looked very ugly, and Vichai's words invisibly slapped him in the face.
He lowered his head and glanced at the time on the dial, hiding a bit of helplessness in his eyes.
"The game is not over yet." Pixie said unwillingly.
There are still more than ten minutes left in the game, and we are two goals behind. Moreover, this is not a game between teams of the same level. It is almost impossible to come back.
At the moment of scoring the goal, Eddie Howe turned around lonely and touched his right hand from his forehead to the back of his head, feeling very annoyed.
This newly established advantage will be gone in no time.
He came to the rest area, discussed with the assistant coach for a few words, and replaced full-back Ian with forward Komo Gant, and the formation became 3-4-3.
[Withdrawing a defender and replacing it with a forward, Bournemouth decided to burn the boat.]
[Including injury time, there are still fifteen minutes left. Bournemouth needs to score two goals to send the game into overtime. This task is quite difficult.]
Due to the appearance of Comergant, Rossi had to move to the wing and happened to face James.
"Have you seen the score?" James challenged: "I can kick you out of the team, and I can also beat you in the game."
Rossi was in no mood to talk nonsense with him now. He was two goals behind and had to score first.
Just now Wilson almost stepped forward to take action, but luckily he stopped him.
At this time, you can't get a card for a foul and waste game time. The gain outweighs the loss.
This 3-4-3 formation allows the frontcourt attackers to expand to 6 people, leaving only one defensive midfielder. While strengthening the offense, they can use the number of people to carry out oppressive high-position pressing.
This also carries high risks.
First of all, once the opponent breaks through the high defense, there are only three central defenders and one defensive midfielder. Facing the sudden attack, the team's defensive end will appear to be weak.
Furthermore, the space behind the full-backs is a key target for opponents, which requires Gosling and Ryan Fraser to take into account the space behind the full-backs when attacking.
But at this point, all we can do is attack.
Pearson also made adjustments, using Drinkwater to limit Ritchie's passing.
The core of Bournemouth's offense lies in Ritchie, who is the attacking midfielder. As long as he is restricted, the offense cannot be launched.
In desperation, Bournemouth could only move the ball to both sides and open up the situation through the wings.
Rossi on the left, breakthrough is not his advantage, so when the attack turns to the left, he more often chooses to squeeze to the middle, taking away the opponent's center back's defense, allowing Ryan Fraser to step in and have a 1v1 with James.
James was booed by the home fans for his provocation after scoring just now.
But he turned a deaf ear and became even more proud.
Fraser slowly dribbled the ball from the wing. After observing James' defensive position, he pedaled his bicycle with his right foot and quickly moved the ball forward to force a breakthrough.
James was not deceived by his fake move. At the moment when Frazier reached for the ball, he quickly turned around, got stuck in position, stretched out his left foot, and intercepted the ball.
Fraser hurriedly chased back. Seeing James lift his foot to pick up the ball, he put down the tackle without hesitation.
If you miss the ball in this position, it is easy to expose the space behind you and be hit by a counterattack.
James also "knowingly" fell to the ground, covered his feet and rolled over.
drop!
The referee gave Fraser a yellow card.
The ball fell to Leicester City, and they started passing the ball again to kill time.
Bournemouth started to press, and in the remaining time they had to run without any effort to regain the ball.
The Leicester City team, which took the initiative, was forced into a blind corner when passing the ball. James stopped the ball at the corner flagpole and protected the ball with his back.
Fraser was pulling hard here, but he was stuck in position to protect the ball.
Then Rossi joined the double-team, and James turned around and hit the ball on Fraser and bounced out of the sideline.
Five minutes passed like this. The game had reached 80 minutes, and there was not much time left for them.
Under Bournemouth's pressure, Leicester City sent the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt without trying to fight for it. Instead, all members returned to half-court defense.
In this defensive situation, Bournemouth really had no other choice but to pass the ball through the cross and send it to the top of Comorgante's head in the penalty area.
However, there is only one high point, and Komorgant appears to be independent.
In the 83rd minute, Ritchie's pass from the wing was swept towards the goal. Under the interference of the central defender, Komogant failed to outflank the ball in place. The ball slipped past the goal and was cleared by Liam and went out to the sideline.
[Although the Bournemouth team cooperated well in passing the ball on the edge of the penalty area, they still failed to hit the target. Comergant was alone in the penalty area, and his teammates must provide more support.]
A minute later, Bournemouth made a comeback. Ritchie took the ball on the left, and there was still no one to mark him.
Because Leicester City has shrunk its defense and given up the wings to compete for high points.
Richie took a look and saw that the penalty area was full of blue figures. How could this be passed?
Suddenly, on the left side of the penalty area, Rossi raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Although the defense at the back point is not intensive, after Rossi gets the ball, the opponent's defense will definitely shift to him. How will he fight?
At this point, no matter how many there are, just pass them in first.
Richie took off his foot and passed the ball to the back post.
Rossi suddenly started from the penalty area and reached back to connect.
Although this is the defensive weak side, Leicester City's defense was quickly in place.
As long as James blocks Rossi's passing route, he will be unable to do anything.
When Rossi advanced, he looked back to observe the landing point. He wanted to get the ball and pass it again, but it was too late. He had to pass the ball directly without stopping to make up for the time difference.
Header back.
This idea came to Rossi's mind immediately, and at the same time, the sudden "highlight moment card" exploded in his mind.
[Luo is chasing the ball, but the ball is passed deep and there is no chance to save it.]
[To be honest, apart from his assist, Luo didn’t have much that stood out in this game.]
[The header was passed back and passed to the goal, and Komogant headed the ball towards the goal!!!]
【The ball is in, the ball is in!】
[Bournemouth got one back and still have one more to go.]
[I just said that Luo didn’t have many outstanding performances in the whole game, but he quickly looked back at the moon and slapped everyone in the face.]
"Nigel, isn't this..." Craig's expression was both shocked and unbelievable.
The two pieces of flesh on Pearson's face couldn't help but twitch, looking fierce.
Rossi's header was exactly the "looking back at the moon" that assisted Nugent to score in the key battle of the team's promotion last season.
Now, Rossi helped Comorgant score in the same way.
The difference is that this time it is as an opponent.
Only as an opponent can I deeply understand how helpless this pass is.
After Rossi saw his teammate score, he immediately ran towards the goal, fished the ball out, and waved his teammate back to his position.
He quickly put the ball at the kick-off point in the center circle with a firm look in his eyes.
Five minutes left, two more to go.
Chapter completed!
