Chapter 97(1/2)

A volley

Eddie Howe put his arm around Suleman and told him tactics in his ear.

This is Bournemouth's last substitution.

Since you want to score goals, why not change to a forward and strengthen the offensive ability of the front line?

Surman has a pass and can also provide assists, but he is not a player who is good at organizing offense.

Rogers smiled faintly. Since he wants to score goals but refuses to give up defense, isn't this nonsense?

The Bournemouth team broke the ball out of the sideline. Ritchie could not continue the game due to thigh cramps and was replaced by Surman.

[The Bournemouth team worked hard today, and two players have already left the field due to cramps.]

[There are less than ten minutes left in the game. According to the progress of the game, the referee will not give much stoppage time. Bournemouth has no chance.]

【Um?】

The commentator was obviously a little surprised, because he saw that after Liverpool kicked off, the Bournemouth team was still fighting frantically.

The fans at the scene could clearly see the obvious decline in their physical fitness, but they did not stop until they pressed the target and passed the ball, then they stopped to gasp for air.

If you relax for even one second, you will be scored.

This idea suddenly exploded in the minds of Liverpool players.

Although we are now three goals ahead, I always feel that if the opponent scores a goal, this victory will be overshadowed.

No, you must not lose the ball.

At this moment, Liverpool players felt a strong challenge from their opponents and they had to respond.

The pace and intensity of both sides suddenly accelerated. It didn't look like they had been fighting for 80 minutes. The two teams suddenly became active, igniting the passion of the home fans.

Rogers was stunned off the court.

What is this for?

You guys are going to play Arsenal on the weekend, why are you wasting your energy like this?

He roared loudly, but the players were already red-eyed and turned a deaf ear to his orders.

In the 84th minute, Liverpool's wing breakthrough finally broke through the Bournemouth defense, which was severely reduced in physical fitness.

Markovic went down the wing, passed the ball under the defender's crotch with his right foot, and entered the penalty area from the bottom line.

Adam Smith's turn was obviously slow, and he pulled and pulled to block Markovich.

Cook rushed to the defense, raised his big foot and sent the ball directly to the frontcourt.

Surman leaned against Lucas, took the ball, half-turned, and hit directly to the right.

Wilson, who had already started, ran all the way after receiving the ball and reached outside the penalty area.

Liverpool defender Sakho stood sideways, fought and retreated, and there was no flaw in the defense.

Wilson used the arch of his foot to push the ball behind him, and Rossi once again appeared ghostly in the passing lane.

But this time, it was Skrtel who defended Rossi.

He was much better at covering up defense and making tackles than Gerrard. Just when Rossi moved the ball away, he fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle, destroying the ball before Rossi.

Another good opportunity was missed and the home fans were left feeling numb.

Is it really that difficult to score a goal against Liverpool?

Rossi and Stelter both bent over, holding their knees with their hands, gasping for air.

"Boy, didn't I scoop your ball right now?"

Skrtel said proudly.

Rossi took a deep breath and said, "Just wait and see!"

Bournemouth throw-in.

The Liverpool team returned to defense, and Gerrard, as captain, was directing the defense.

"Lucas, stay focused and don't let up."

"Jordan, pay attention to the opponent's advance and don't let them enter the penalty area easily."

"Lallana, can't you run any longer? Keep holding on, the game is about to end."

"Defend high balls and never give them a chance to header."

"Everyone hold on to this offense and work with the fans who support us to bring victory back to Anfield."

Encouraged by their captain, Liverpool players responded loudly and vowed to fight Bournemouth until the last minute.

Deep down in their hearts, they all feel that as long as they lose the ball, it is a failure.

Under tight defense, Bournemouth's hand-thrown ball failed to find a suitable catching point.

Failure to serve within the stipulated time will result in a violation and the ball will be handed over to the opponent.

The ball was over Adam Smith's head and he didn't dare to throw it.

"Pass it here!"

Rossi suddenly ran over from the center position to receive the ball, and Smith hurriedly threw the ball over.

Bang!

After Rossi stopped the ball with his chest, he directly picked up the ball and passed it back to the half court, taking the ball into his hands first.

After goalkeeper Boruc stopped the ball, he looked up, moved his right foot, and passed the ball to left back Francesi.

Liverpool's defense retreated to half-court, and Francis dribbled the ball through the midfield and passed it to Gosling in the center.

Lucas soon appeared in the defensive zone.

Gosling took the ball with his back and suddenly wanted to break through to the left.

Lucas' defense quickly blocked his breakthrough space.

But the ball at Gosling's feet did not move with him.

Feint?

Just as Lucas was surprised, Gosling turned to the other side.

Push the ball with the outside of your foot and take it out from the other side.

After getting rid of the defense, what appeared in front of him was a large open space.

Before Lucas could turn around and block the ball, he used his left foot, which he was not good at, to pass the ball forward.

A familiar figure was rushing forward quickly.

The ball flew high, passed the midfielder's defense, and slowly dropped to the left side of the penalty area.

Although Rossi started quickly enough, the ball took too long to fall, giving the opponent plenty of time to defend.

On his left is Liverpool captain Gerrard.

On his right is Sakho, the cornerstone of Liverpool's defense.

Rossi wanted to stop the high-altitude ball steadily while moving at high speed, but he could never do it.

Even if they are lucky enough to stop, there are very few players who can retreat calmly from the double-team of these two men.

Therefore, no matter how Rossi handles this ball, he cannot break through the defense of the two.

"I said I won't give you another chance."

Gerrard follows closely behind him, and as long as Rossi stops the ball, he will grab it without hesitation.

If you can't stop the ball, it will be cut off.

Rossi knew very well that they were waiting for him to stop the ball and steal it.

To shoot, I want to shoot directly without stopping the ball.

Click!

The remaining "highlight moments" exploded in his mind.

Rossi turned sideways to face the ball and was not facing the goal. Sakho expected that he must be trying to offload the ball and at the same time, he moved the ball laterally to get away from the defense.

Although this technique is very difficult, Rossi can never do it.

But he was still cautious, watching the movements of Rossi's feet and being ready to respond at any time.

Bang!

Just when the ball was about to hit the ground, Rossi used the outer instep of his right foot to lightly touch the ball.

what?

What kind of operation is this!

This shot was not only shot sideways, but also used the instep to cushion the ball.
