Chapter 460 80% Ball Possession On October 10, the 28th round of the Premier League was about to begin, and the Blues players took a train to is the Blues' second away game this season, but compared to the Crystal Palace in the 8th round, Bournemouth may pose a greater threat to Chelsea. This is because Bournemouth has a terrifying high-altitude bombing ability, which is not easy to deal with for Chelsea's three-back system. Tuchel's choice was very bold. As early as the day before the game, the Germans said that they would continue to use three defenders in today's game, but there would be some minor adjustments to the players. The most crucial one is Terry. The old Chelsea captain got his chance to start in this game! "No matter what, we will definitely win this game today!" Terry encouraged the players in the locker room and clapped from time to time. It can be seen that the old guy is really excited now! Jiang Yuan sat on the stool with his hands hanging naturally, his eyes fixed on Terry. On the one hand he has to learn what Terry did when he was the captain of the team so that he can use it when he is with the national team. On the other hand, Jiang Yuan was a little moved by Terry's condition. People who have played in a team for more than ten years often have different feelings towards the team. With a weekly salary of less than 5 pounds, it is hard to imagine that a Blues player like Terry would be willing to accept such a contract. "Do you want to go up and speak, too?" Hazard pointed at Terry and raised his eyebrows at Jiang Yuan
"Nonono, Eden, you think too much" Jiang Yuan spread his hands and smiled bitterly. Hazard was obviously joking. He and Jiang Yuan were the two people least likely to compete with Terry for a position. "Okay, ok, you have to pay attention during the next game, the opponent's wingers and full-backs may go downfield." Tuchel walked over slowly and repeated what he had already emphasized to the players on the train: "Compared to the top of the arc, our attention should be more in the penalty area. John and Kurt, you two need to pay special attention." "By the way, Paul, you also need to participate in the defense" "Jiang's words..." Tuchel turned to Jiang Yuan and said: "If we are already ahead, then you can also join the defense, otherwise forget it." Jiang Yuan didn't say anything, but gave a thumbs up to indicate that he understood. "Okay, hurry up and get ready. Focus on the game. We must win today!" …… "CCTV, CCTV, good evening, dear audience friends, here is the live broadcast of the 2017th round of the 18-10 Premier League, Bournemouth's home game against Chelsea" "The gap between the two teams in the standings is somewhat obvious. Bournemouth is currently only ranked 12th, while their opponent is currently ranked first in the league standings." "It is worth mentioning that this is Jiang Yuan's first starting game after returning to the club from the national team. We know that Jiang Yuan is injured, but we don't know how Jiang Yuan's injury has recovered after two weeks of rest." "Okay, the game has started, now let me introduce the starting lineups of both teams!" Bournemouth (3-4-1-2) Goalkeeper: Begovic Defenders: Francis, Ake, Cook Midfielders: Adam Smith, Lewis Cook, Surman, Daniels Forwards: Stanislas, Defoe, Afobe Head coach: Eddie Howe
In today's game, Bournemouth's new goalkeeper Begovic will face his old club Chelsea. Last season, Chelsea's first goalkeeper Courtois and second goalkeeper Begovic appeared on the field at the same time, which was very interesting to watch. As soon as the game started, the director's camera immediately turned to Jiang Yuan, who was waiting for the opportunity to break through after his teammate passed the ball. Both the home team fans and the visiting team fans now have a question in their minds. That is, after being a substitute for two games and resting for one game, how is Jiang Yuan's injury recovering? This is likely to affect the outcome of this game and even the Premier League title race this season! "Kante's dribbling is quite stable. We can see that he often looks around when dribbling. This is why we say Kante always finds offensive opportunities." "Hey, here it comes! Give it directly to Jiang Yuan!" "Do we need to pass the ball to this position as well? There is someone blocking Jiang Yuan from behind." In the camera, Jiang Yuan stepped on the ball with his right foot, turned around and then stepped on it with his left foot, and finally used the outside of his foot to push the ball away, successfully getting rid of Adam Smith's close defense. This is a Marseille turn, but not a standard Marseille turn. Jiang Yuan's movements were a little stiff, but he did pass the man. After completing the dribble, Jiang Yuan’s choice was very straightforward, which was to run directly to the baseline. Bournemouth's defenders are under a lot of pressure now! Francis and Cook came together from two different directions! Jiang Yuan now faces a difficult choice, which is what should he do now? He stepped on the ball and turned to look to the right. Sure enough, Hazard was ready. Jiang Yuan passed the ball without hesitation, passing it between Francis and Cook in a safe state without the ball. Snapped! Hazard threw a high ball, which went directly over Jiang Yuan's head and into the front. "Woww!!" The fans in the stands began to scream. Jiang Yuan knew this was an opportunity and his muscles tensed up unconsciously. But what we need to do now is to stabilize our mentality. Stretch your foot to stop the ball! Jiang Yuan used a little trick here. He did not stick the ball directly to his feet, but deliberately stopped the ball forward when stopping it. This saved the time needed to adjust the ball. Taking a look at the position of the goal, Begovic blocked the near corner. Directly shoot from the far corner! boom! The force is there, but the center of gravity is not maintained. The ball was a little low and hit Begovic's left hand! "Grass!" Jiang Yuan waved his hands in anger, obviously not very satisfied with the shot he just made. "it's okay no problem!" Azar reached out to Jiang Yuan. It's amazing to be able to turn this pass into a shot.
If you can seize the opportunity to shoot from a zero angle, it is called a magic ball. If you fail to seize the opportunity, there is really nothing you can do. "hiss--" "Although Chelsea officials have not given an explanation, I feel that Jiang Yuan's injury is no longer a problem at all." "Yeah, I can't stop it even if I pull or drag it, haha." "Let's look at this corner kick from Chelsea" "Jiang Yuan, Pogba, and Ibrahimovic hugged each other. The heading ability of these three is the best in the Chelsea team!" Jiang Yuan was sandwiched between Pogba and Ibrahimovic. After observing for a while, Jiang Yuan patted Pogba's left hand, and then gently pinched Ibrahimovic's left shoulder twice. This is the secret code of Chelsea's three heading kings. Jiang Yuan means that Pogba and Ibrahimovic need to run to the left at the same time after taking a corner kick. Snapped! Walker made a cross and Pogba and Ibrahimovic ran to the left according to the tactics. !!! The two 1-meter-tall offensive players walking together immediately attracted the attention of Bournemouth's defenders. While they were stunned, Jiang Yuan ran to the right and got a brief open space. Obviously this is a cross from the back post! Hit Cook! Jump up, brace your core! Shake your head! The ball was hit by Jiang Yuan on the ground and bounced into the net. “GOOOO—AAAAA—LLLLLL!!!!” "The ball went in!!!" "Jiang Yuan's header!" "It was a tricky shot, goalkeeper Begovic didn't react!" Jiang Yuan knew Begovic too well. Goalkeepers of this age generally cannot handle this kind of ball that bounces on the ground. The reason is simple. Even a goalkeeper in his 20s may not be able to react to this kind of rebounding ball, let alone an old goalkeeper like Begovic. "Wuhu!" Jiang Yuan ran to the right from the penalty area, jumped up and threw an uppercut. "BARVO!!!" Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel. Goal (CHE): 18', Jiang Chelsea's players began to celebrate, and coach Eddie Howe quickly called the players to the sidelines: "You should watch the people, there's no point watching the ball!" A header attack tactic like Chelsea's will not have any actual defensive effect if the defensive players focus on the ball, which is why Eddie Howe is so anxious. Chelsea seems to be in control of the game!
…… "Bang bang bang bang!" Chelsea players returned to their positions amid boos from the stands, and Tuchel also gave the team's next tactics at this time. Move the offensive and defensive lines forward and play high defense! Tuchel saw it very clearly off the field that the skills of these Bournemouth players were relatively rough, allowing Chelsea's group of ball control experts in the midfield and frontcourt to play passing and controlling in the opponent's half, and Bournemouth had no way to stop them! The facts were basically the same as Tuchel's prediction. In the 35th minute of the game, Chelsea even increased their ball possession rate to 80%, completely hanging Bournemouth's feet. "The home team's only chance now is to look for a set piece, but Tuchel used Terry, Zouma, and David Luiz as the back three today. Bournemouth may not have a chance even if they get a set piece." As Huang Jianxiang was speaking, Afobi made a long shot in the frontcourt, and Courtois made a save, giving Bournemouth a corner kick opportunity. This was the second corner kick Bournemouth got in this game, and coach Eddie Howe's eyes suddenly lit up. This is an opportunity. A great opportunity! However, what happened next made Eddie Howe lose his mind, and all Chelsea's frontcourt players ran back to the penalty area. Not only Ibrahimovic, but even Jiang Yuan, who rarely participated in defense, ran back at this time. Seven players over 7 meters tall stood in the penalty area, making Bournemouth, which is known for its tall players, very embarrassed. After a corner kick, Zouma seized the opportunity and headed the ball out. The ball was caught by Kante, and the French midfielder began to advance quickly from the backcourt to the frontcourt. [Hahaha, damn, didn’t they say Bournemouth’s high-altitude bombing was powerful? What is this?] [I just realized that Chelsea is full of tall players. No wonder Kante looks so short] [This has nothing to do with other players, Kante is short anyway] [Kant: What do you mean? ] [I discovered Chelsea's pattern. If the game is a draw or they are behind, Jiang Yuan will not participate in the corner defense. If they are ahead, he will participate in the defense.] [Awesome, sometimes defending and sometimes not defending, is Tuchel so brave? ] [To be honest, I feel that Bournemouth played quite well. They only conceded one goal in the first half. If you asked other mid-level Premier League teams to play this game, they would have been beaten by Chelsea by now.] [Isn’t Bournemouth being beaten now? 】 As the game continued, the home team players tried every means to equalize the score, while the away team fans were impressed by Bournemouth's excellent defense. In fact, many fans did not realize that although Chelsea played with all their main players in this game, they actually only used about 90% of their strength. They have to play Bayern away in two days! The half-time ended and the second half had just begun when Tuchel made his substitutions. The one who was replaced was... Kante! Tuchel's substitution made Eddie Howe a little confused. But this is indeed an opportunity for Bournemouth, and they need to seize it!
After more than 50 minutes, Bournemouth replaced two forwards in succession, and the words "equalize the score" were already written on Eddie Howe's face. But Bournemouth's weaknesses are in many aspects, and Eddie Howe's replacement of the striker will not actually have much effect. The 64th minute of the game. "Azar!" "Give it to William, William is very fast!" "Very agile on the feet, neither Daniels nor Surman touched the ball!" "We are almost in the restricted area. Surman doesn't dare to take action now!" "Pass it back to Walker!" "Walker to Hazard again!" The emotions of the fans of the two teams in front of the screen were suddenly raised. After getting the ball, Hazard swung his leg very decisively and directly knocked down two Bournemouth defenders in the penalty area. But Hazard did not choose to shoot. There is a goalkeeper in front of him, and he is not the most suitable candidate to shoot! Snapped! With a short pass to the left, Jiang Yuan suddenly rushed up and scored with a shot! "The ball is in!" "The ball is in!" "Jiang Yuan's breakthrough!" "This shot was a bit unexpected, Begovic didn't have time to react at all!" Chelsea's midfield and frontcourt played a flawless combination, and Jiang Yuan finally scored his second goal in this game. After scoring the goal, Jiang Yuan rushed towards the left corner flagpole at a very fast speed. Slide down and come out! Swish, swish, swish! ! ! ! After Jiang Yuan stood up, other Chelsea players were also in place. Ibrahimovic, Jiang Yuan, and Hazard hugged each other, and the players in the backcourt were still rushing over here. "……call" Looking at the Chelsea players celebrating not far away, Eddie Howe decided to use his last substitution in advance. Wilson comes on as a substitute! "Changed again?" "Bournemouth has used all three substitutions on forwards!" "Three new forwards!" "It's like this. The main reason is that Bournemouth has no choice now. The home team does not have as many midfielders as the visiting team. If they want to equalize the score, they can only make moves on the forwards." "Does Bournemouth still have a chance?" …… (End of this chapter)
