Chapter 38 Abandoned Rosie?

In fact, Coman didn't want to know who the black-haired kid in front of him was, nor did he want to know his origin.

I just want to find an excuse for the team's mistakes and carelessness just now.

Rossi's pass is not subtle, and the speed is not fast enough. The defender only needs to pay a little attention. Passes like this are not a threat at all.

But they were careless, thinking that this kid had just played and should move around to adapt to the rhythm of the game.

But I never thought that he is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers. The first time he touches the ball, he directly passes the ball to the gap between the central defender and the fullback.

If it weren't for Wilson's speed, no one would be able to catch the ball.

Koeman glanced at Rossi's information, he was from the youth training of the Leicester City team, and he was 20 years old.

The Leicester City team was promoted to the Premier League this season, and the team has a bloated lineup. This must be due to being sent to the Championship team for training.

6 games in the British Championship, no goals, this is not a climate yet.

Koeman waved his hand and asked the assistant coach to take away the information, and also issued an order to defender Yoshida Asa to keep an eye on No. 14 Rossi on the opposite side.

Also as an Asian, the 188cm-tall Yoshida Asahi is also physically tough and bounces well. He is the team's main central defender.

More importantly, as a central defender, his body coordination and response are very good, and his precise tackle and position selection allow him to accurately intercept the ball. No matter from which aspect, he can crush Rossi.

The team left too many main players this summer, from striker to guard, almost half of the team was poached.

Although Koeman has strengthened the team after taking office, it is far from meeting expectations.

The opponents in the first three warm-up matches were all third-level or even lower teams, and winning was inevitable.

Facing the Championship team this time, the team faced a real test.

In the 70th minute of the game, Koeman replaced Ward-Prowse with Jack Kirk and Steven Davis with Sean Long to strengthen the vitality of the frontcourt.

And use Sean Lang's speed to speed up the team's offense.

Under Koeman's conception, being able to have another fast wide player will bring a qualitative leap in his tactics.

There is still more than a month before the transfer window closes, and he has to buy another player.

After Southampton stepped up their offensive, Bournemouth also made personnel adjustments. Gosling replaced Pugh to strengthen the midfield defense.

The strangulation of the two teams in the midfield made the game extremely fierce. Dare to fight the bayonet face-to-face with the Premier League team, which greatly encouraged the home fans.

For such a fierce strangling, Rossi does not participate, moves with the direction of the ball transfer, and responds to the pass at any time.

Yoshida Ma, who was in charge of marking him, was also a little strange. Rossi was clearly walking, not playing football.

Even the veteran Comogant is actively retreating to meet his companions.

The kid, like none of his business, was just waiting for the pass.

伯恩茅斯队的阵型虽然是4-4-2，可一旦形成攻势后，威尔逊会在第一时间向前提，球队改为4-3-3。

The strange thing is that when attacking, the veteran Comogant did not stand at the forefront, but drew the defense with Rossi in the middle, creating space for Wilson on the wing to break through.

Once Wilson cuts in or crosses, Comogant will appear ghostly in front of the goal to outflank.

More importantly, Bournemouth's passing rhythm in the midfield has begun to improve.

Players dare to ask for the ball and pass the ball, which is the first step in building self-confidence.Passing the ball will be handy only when confidence is built.

But after all, it is to guide the foot in the midfield, without a vertical pass, it is impossible to penetrate Southampton's defense.

This is the pass-and-control style of play that Eddie Howe wants to build, but like Southampton, it lacks a playmaker.

Under tight defense, they will almost always choose to move laterally, pull the defense line, and give it to the wide players on the weak side, letting them solve the battle.

Although this kind of "cottage" pass control is difficult to maintain a high possession of the ball, if it is facing a team with outstanding running ability and strong interception ability, it is easy to be counterattacked after losing the ball.

However, the passing genes must be carved into the players' bones. Over time, players can form a proficient passing rhythm through long-term tacit understanding.

In the 80th minute of the game, Bournemouth distributed the ball to Wilson on the right. The Southampton defender was in place quickly and the defense was kept very neat.

Today, Wilson tried to break through on the wing many times, but was firmly defended by left back Bertrand.

He glanced around. The gap behind Bertrand was very suitable for him to sprint, but today, he hadn't been able to kill his opponent from the front.

In the middle, Rossi and Comogant are far away from the penalty area. Even if they pass in, they will not be able to compete for the ball.

At this moment, Rossi took the initiative to run towards him, and attracted the left center back Maya Yoshida.

Want to go forward?
Wilson was a little dazed. During the practice match, he knew Rossi's ability. He was not fast. This was the edge of the penalty area. Even if he got the ball, Yoshida Asahi, who was well defended, could block his inside angle.

While hesitating whether to pass or not, Rossi was still running laterally.

Moreover, his running position is extremely erratic, always keeping on the same line with left back Bertrand, and facing behind him, ready to advance at any time.

Since Bertrand wanted to defend Wilson, he couldn't do both, so he could only hand over Rossi to Asaya Yoshida to mark.

What does it mean?
Even Wilson couldn't understand Rossi. He didn't know whether he wanted to go straight or use a counter run to receive the ball laterally.

When Rossi moved to Bertrand's side, he suddenly accelerated and thrust forward to the right.

This movement not only attracted Yoshida Ma, but even Bertrand's attention.

At the same time, Wilson finally understood Rossi's intention, and moved the ball to the left continuously with his left foot, cutting inside.

In the previous game, due to Bertrand's strict marking, it was difficult for Wilson to break through, and it was also difficult to cut.

But this time, Rossi's pull to the side not only took away the position of left center back Maya Yoshida, but also disturbed Bertrand by the way.

On the court, if you don't pay attention for a second, your opponent will catch the gap.

Not to mention a speedy wing rusher like Wilson.

Yoshida Maya's loss of position completely exposed the left area of ​​the penalty area to Wilson.

Fortunately, Schneiderlin's retreat instantly filled the gap in this area.

Wilson took his time and flicked the ball with his left foot, pretending to hit the goal.

Schneiderlin raised his left foot and interfered with the shot.

And Wilson did not hit the goal, but chose to continue cutting inside.

Schneiderlin also knew his intentions, quickly landed on his left foot, kicked off the ground, and quickly blocked.

Wilson is fast, but his technique is a bit rough. When cutting inward, he will consciously go outward.

Because he knew that if he chose to go to the penalty area at this time, he would have to face more defenses.

Going outward, away from the goal, the opponent dare not rush to grab it.

But there is another important reason, which is to open up the space for passing the ball in front of the goal.

Now, Wilson has only one option, pass the ball into the penalty area.

Rossi has pulled the line of defense to the right and completed the task excellently. At this time, only striker Komorgant is left in the middle.

After seeing his teammates advance quickly, Wilson passed the ball in with his left foot from outside the penalty area.

The ball went right over José Fonte's head and fell to the side of Comogante who advanced forward.

The French striker, with his body against the right defender Klein, raised his right foot and was about to shoot.

Off the field, the head coaches of both sides stretched their necks in unison, watching the finishing touch.

With a bounce, Comogant's instep fit perfectly on the curved surface of the ball, and his calf exerted force suddenly, making a crisp "bang" sound.

Although the position of the ball is accurate and the strength is sufficient, there is not much change in the shooting angle.

Southampton's old goalkeeper Kelvin Davis flew to block the hole, the ball hit him hard in the chest and bounced out.

Hey!
The home fans behind the goal all stood up.

The shot that I thought was bound to be scored was blocked by the goalkeeper bravely, and everyone hugged their heads in amazement in disbelief.

Koeman even punched and roared loudly. Such a serious defensive error almost led to a loss of the ball. In this state, he will not be sieved when he returns to the Premier League.

Fortunately, in the following time, the defense did not make mistakes, and Bournemouth did not have a decent offense.

With a score of 1:0, Southampton won a thrilling victory.

Eddie Howe is very satisfied with the performance of the players, especially in the second half. He was able to play on par with the Premier League team, and there were two very threatening attacks, which shows that the player's state is steadily improving.

After the game, Koeman and Eddie Howe shook hands, looking at Rossi from the corner of the eye.

This player is usually not very eye-catching, but the threatening offenses of the Bournemouth team were all initiated by him.

Such an imaginative player was actually dropped in the British Championship by Leicester City.

This newly-promoted team is full of talents, and it is menacing.

No, the team has to strengthen.

On the bus back, Koeman immediately called the team's scouts in Austria and asked: "How are you doing in Salzburg, no matter how much it costs, I must get Mane."
