Chapter 48

Although the sales volume and popularity of "The Sun" are very high, critics from intellectual circles point out that "The Sun" reports news in a rough, unprofessional, and neutral manner, and often uses sensationalism to stimulate sales, satisfying people's low-level needs .

The famous "three-version girl" is one of the selling points.

However, on the sports section, there was news about showbiz Pixie Lott.

"A popular female singer, met her boyfriend in the hotel late at night? "

In the picture, it can be seen that in the middle of the night, Pixie saw off a man wearing a peaked cap and got into the car, behaving affectionately.

The content also pointed out that Pixie had appeared at the Bournemouth match, and it was inferred that the mysterious man was a football player.

But this speculation was quickly rejected.

First of all, Pixie is the hottest female singer-songwriter at the moment, and Bournemouth is just a Championship team. There are no famous players in the team, so it is impossible in terms of identity.

Also, Pixie is in Bournemouth, just working, maybe watching a game after taking a break, which doesn't explain anything.

As for the mysterious man with the hat, there wasn't much information, and in the end it was nothing.

The "rumored boyfriend" is a player of the Bournemouth team. Faced with such entertainment news, it caused a lot of discussion in the team.

Everyone is investigating, who is this god man?
Soon, such remarks were suppressed by Eddie Howe.

At the training ground, everything is about football, it's not a place for chatter.

The next opponent is Nottingham Forest. This veteran team has a good historical record.

Two Champions League champions before the restructuring, one European Super Cup champion, one Premier League champion before the restructuring, and two FA Cup champions.

Now, although they are in the British Championship, they are still at the mid-level level, and they are relatively strong teams among the super teams.

After the training, Eddie Howe called the players in the tactical room to analyze the opponent's formation.

Nottingham Forest is a team that is stronger in offense than defense. Its strength lies in its oppressive style of play in the midfield and strong aggressiveness. Like Bournemouth, it is good at using the flanks to attack.

In view of this, Eddie Howe did not choose Ricky, who was prudent in defense, but let Wilson come to the right side to have a sharp confrontation.

On the front line, Rossi partnered with Komogant, this is the first time the two have cooperated.

If the victories in the first three games are the team's good performance, then the game against Nottingham Forest is a battle that really tests the strength of the team.

The same was true, with Bournemouth facing dogged resistance at home on Saturday afternoon.

Last season, Nottingham Forest lost to Bournemouth 1:4 on this grass. They worked hard and vowed to avenge their shame.

In the 25 minutes of the first half, players from both sides strangled in the midfield, and the confrontation was fierce. The most direct reflection of the hot scene at that time was that two players from each team received yellow cards.

The referee does not want the rhythm of the game to be messed up, nor does he want to be a card master.

He called the captains of both sides over and asked them to go back and tell their teammates to keep their movements as small as possible so as not to get injured.

This is in the English league, teach me how to be smaller.

In the 37th minute, full-back Fox tackled Wilson near the touchline, and the referee told him with a yellow card that such an action would be punished.

Rossi and Comogant didn't have many chances to get the ball up front as the two sides fought for possession of the ball in midfield.

The ability of both sides to defend against high-altitude balls is not bad, and the hasty cross from the wing hardly poses a threat to the goal.

The hot scene lasted for 40 minutes, and the players on both sides lost too much energy, so they stopped.

After no longer relying on the tactics of flying all over the wing, it is necessary to test the abilities of the midfielders on both sides.

Both teams adopt a 4-4-2 formation, with two players in the midfield, each attacking and defending.

Like Bournemouth, Harry Arter is responsible for pushing the ball forward, while the core of Nottingham Forest's midfield is the veteran Reed.

In terms of passing, the two are evenly matched, but Reid's ball-handling ability can bring rich changes to Nottingham Forest's frontcourt attack.

This Irish veteran can pass a wonderful long pass in the backcourt. In the midfield, he can well connect the team's offensive and defensive conversions and is the team's speed-up machine.

Once he gets the ball outside the penalty area, his exquisite through ball and powerful long shot can often make the goalkeeper frightened.

On defending the veteran, Eddie Howe let O'Kane guard him one-on-one.

Calm and unadventurous, O'Kane, using his excellent judgment, can use defense to delay or limit Reid's pass.

He never goes up to grab the ball. Although he does not have efficient steal data, his close marking can also make the opponent very uncomfortable when he gets the ball.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Reed took the ball on the left side of the front of the penalty area. Facing O'Kane's defense, he flicked the ball to the right with his right foot, followed by his body, and hit the goal with his right foot.

O'Kane stretched out his left foot in time to block the shot line, but Reid just made a fake shot, and after the toe of his right foot stopped, he dialed the ball again.

The continuous lateral dialing failed to shake off the defense, and O'Kane's follow-up has kept putting pressure on the offensive players.

On Reed's third touch, he tapped the outside of his foot and passed the ball diagonally.

With this pass, O'Kane is powerless. He can prevent the frontal shot, but he can't prevent the pass from the side.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly burst out from the side, and the ball flew between the two central defenders of the Bournemouth team.

It is the teenager Assomba Longa of Nottingham Forest.

The young player from Congo used his speed to drive the ball into the penalty area, while central defenders Cook and Elphick rushed to close him.

But after all, it was a step too late, and Assumbalonga flashed in. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he volleyed vigorously and flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

Kemp, the goalkeeper, strikes fast enough, with his legs slightly apart, his center of gravity lowered, and he can drop to the ground at any time to catch the ball.

Unexpectedly, this young general didn't talk about martial arts, and volleyed confidently to the upper corner of the goal.

When Kemp saw the path of the ball clearly, it was too late to make a save. His body stood still, his right hand just made a symbolic gesture of reaching out, and the ball had already flown into the net.

0:1! !
Hey!
The home fans exclaimed that this goal was too violent.

[Beautiful goal, Nottingham is leading. 】

[The teenager is decisive and shoots beautifully, which is completely invisible. He is only 22 years old, and he is very confident in his ability to handle single-handed shots in the penalty area. 】

[Here, veteran Reid must be praised.He disrupted the Bournemouth defense with his lateral dribbling at the front of the penalty area, and then delivered a high-quality pass behind him.This is the passing vision and wisdom of an absolute master. 】

At the end of the first half, Bournemouth conceded a goal, which also showed that they were at a disadvantage in the midfield competition.

The opponent's penetration in the middle is quite methodical.

Eddie Howe's face was instantly livid. He absolutely did not allow the opponent to score goals in the way he was good at.
