Chapter 52
Boom!

Cook vented his anger and kicked open the locker room door.

Head coach Eddie Howe was already inside, hands on hips, gloomy face.

Players walked in one by one, some slammed their jerseys on the ground, some complained to each other about defensive problems, and some sat on the bench without saying a word.

The entire locker room revealed an anxious and depressing atmosphere.

They need someone to stand up and say something, even if it is loudly insulting and complaining, it is better than the current oppressive atmosphere of not saying a word.

They all knew in their hearts that their performance in the first half was too bad.

However, the head coach Eddie Howe did not speak, but paced back and forth in front of the tactical board, the water-based pen in his hand was constantly dangling at his fingertips.

Time passed by every minute and every second, the players stopped all their previous actions, and all their eyes were on the head coach.

In the locker room, apart from the sound of Eddie Howe's footsteps, it was the sound of everyone's heavy breathing.

Eddie Howe finally stopped and said, "I want to scold you very much now, and even want to beat you up. But reason tells me that we all need to calm down."

He took off the cap of the pen, put his right palm on the tactical board, and said, "Three conceded goals are beyond my imagination, but now, I want to take you to accomplish an even more unimaginable thing."

After hearing this, the players' eyes lit up, and there was no sign of giving up in Eddie Howe's voice.

On the tactical board, Eddie Howe drew his own formation at the fastest speed.

"Listen, we are already three goals behind, and there is no way out. We can only play hard and defend hard. From now on, all players will enter total attack and total defense."

Eddie Howe's words were resounding, and the players were all excited.

"The overall strength of the opponent is very strong, but not strong enough to seal us. I guess they will shrink the formation in the second half, so we have to press them to play."

"In the second half, I want you to concentrate your attack on the two central midfielders, dare to break through, dare to shoot from long distances, and force their two wings to help defend in the middle."

Eddie Howe's tactics are quite straightforward, that is, to concentrate on the road advantage and press toward the opponent's hinterland, and then attract the opponent's two flanks to shrink.

Once the opponent's parallel midfielder is retracted, there will be a gap between the two wings.

In order to ensure the maximum power of this tactic, the formation is adjusted to 4-2-3-1, using triangle passing and rich layers to restrain opponents from passing in a straight line.

"Where is Luo?"

After explaining the tactics, Eddie Howe was looking for Rossi's shadow.

In the formation of 4-2-3-1, the requirements for the center forward with a single arrow are extremely high, and they must be fulcrum and support.

Kemorgant is the best fulcrum striker in the team. His height and ability to compete for the top can provide support for the midfield attacker behind him.

However, the opponent's air defense capability is excellent, and it is difficult to take advantage of the top.

Under such circumstances, Rossi, who has delicate skills at his feet, can use the transfer as a fulcrum.

Moreover, he is more flexible than Kerorgant, and can insert into the opponent's hinterland by surprise, enriching his offensive methods.

If Comogant still fails to open up the situation in the second half, Rossi will be the best choice.

"He went to warm up," the assistant coach said.

Eddie Howe was taken aback for a moment, but soon laughed.

The score is currently behind, leaving only 10 minutes for Comogant.

If there is no improvement, he will send Rossi to play. After setting up the tactics, he thought of asking Rossi to warm up.

This kid is quite smart.

During the intermission, the home fans were celebrating the victory in advance. They saw a player wearing an opponent's jersey warming up on the sidelines. Excited, they taunted one after another.

"Hey, boy, don't be ashamed, you can't win, don't waste your efforts."

"I advise you not to play, it's good to stay on the bench, and it doesn't matter to you if you lose."

"Small man, the previous victories were all due to luck. When you come here, you must obey the rules."

"If you want to win at Ewood Park, do it in your next life. Obediently give up the top spot."

Facing the taunts from the home fans, Rossi didn't care. He was replaying the first half of the game in his mind.

In terms of strength, there is a little gap between the Bournemouth team, but it is not enough to be irretrievable.

The opening results of the four-game winning streak made the players a little bit smug, and they let down their vigilance, and there was a tragedy in the first half.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion on the court. It was the home team entering the field, and the second half of the game was about to start.

The adjustment of the Bournemouth team will soon see the effect.

A midfield attacker composed of Stanislas, Harry Arter and Wilson pressed high on Blackburn Rovers after the start.

Under the protection of the midfielder composed of Rich and O'Kane, the attack of the three in the front court was very fast and fierce, which made it difficult for the opponent to adapt for a while.

The Bournemouth team's formation not only greatly increased the team's offensive power, but also defensively, the three of them could also immediately invest in a counterattack after losing the ball.

If the opponent passes a long pass, the double midfielder can also provide sufficient protection.

In the 50th minute, Harry Arter sent a straight pass, and center Comogant leaned against the defender with his back and controlled the ball under his feet.

His strong body allows him to control the ball steadily under the interference of the opponent's central defender.

Seeing the three in the middle, Comogant returned the pass lightly with the arch of his foot.

Harry Art behind him did not stop the ball, and directly sent a long diagonal pass from the left front to the ground, looking for Stanislas who inserted from the left.

The ball passed through the defense of the right central defender, but was returned by the defending right defender Jason Lowe with a sliding tackle and passed to the goalkeeper's control range.

Although this offense was not completed, the line was very clear, which was to use Komogant's fulcrum function and then distribute the ball to both sides.

The head coach of Blackburn Rovers got up quickly, raised his hand and shouted at the scene, telling the two full-backs not to press up, and to mark the opponent from both sides at any time.

After the formation change, Bournemouth's offense has improved a bit.When defending, it can also be in place quickly.

However, there was no threat to Blackburn Rovers' goal.

For lack of speed.

The forward speed is not enough, which makes it impossible to play the characteristics of the speed of the two wide players.

After finding this reason, Eddie Howe asked the assistant coach to call back Rossi, who was warming up, and prepare to play.

The head coach of Blackburn Rovers, with his hands in his pockets, was standing upright in the command area, observing every move on the field.

Bournemouth's adjustments were quick and effective, but they did not pose a direct threat to their own team.

The psychological advantage established by the three goals cannot be reversed by adjusting the formation.

When he saw Rossi standing on the sidelines, waiting to play, he subconsciously pushed his glasses with his right hand.

Of course he knows Luo, who has been popular in the British Championship recently.

Four games, seven goals, this statistic is enough to top the British Championship.

The Bournemouth team sent him to play at this time, and it was already time to burn the boat.

He now wants to know, what position will Luo play after he plays?
The fourth official held up the substitution board, No. 18 was off and No. 14 was on.

Center?

The Blackburn Rovers manager was slightly taken aback.

The Bournemouth team removed the fulcrum center and strengthened the frontcourt running, which is to speed up.

However, is Luo, who came off the bench, really suitable for this formation?
