During the halftime break, the players can rest, but for many sports directors, it is a busy time.
The sports directors of many teams have been informed by the team owner or head coach to contact Bournemouth's Bai Ye and bring him to the team.
They all saw the video of the goal in the match between Bai Ye and Liverpool. The half-time hat trick and three shots were not absolute opportunities, but Bai Ye caught them all!
Such talent is amazing!
Bournemouth's sports director is also very busy right now. He has taken phone calls one after another. Many of them are acquaintances. Everyone usually has player transactions, so it would be embarrassing not to answer the phone.
Take it, they are all here to inquire about Bai Ye's transfer possibility.
He could only say over and over again that Bai Ye is not for sale and Bournemouth will not consider selling players for the time being.
However, from the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, he gradually received more calls, but his replies gradually became tougher.
After all, the teams he rejected were all the most famous teams in England. Arsenal and Manchester United were all rejected by him!
Of course, he also has such confidence. Bai Ye has informed the team that he will never leave in the winter window!
In fact, even Bai Jianguo received a lot of phone calls, as well as calls from many old friends. Most people in the football world are friends. There will always be relatives who are related to each other. If you trust me and I will trust you, I will find them. Bai Jianguo.
The main reason is that Bai Ye's talent is really enviable!
Bournemouth dressing room.
"Defense! Defense! Desperate defense! Remember?!" Eddie Howe said defense over and over again. He was extremely nervous now. Although he was already two goals ahead, that was Liverpool!
"good!"
At this time, the players also saw the possibility of victory, with determination on their faces. This may be the most glorious game in their careers so far!
Many of Bournemouth's players have not even played against any wealthy teams before, and many players have been promoted from lower-level leagues with Bournemouth, such as Wilson.
So at this time, the entire Bournemouth is united, they must defend the victory!
As for Liverpool, the players' thoughts are a bit complicated. They didn't say they wanted to give up in this game, but they didn't want to win that much either.
Some players are even thinking, if all four teams fail this season, can they change their head coach?
There are many examples of players replacing head coaches.
In fact, the voices among fans to dismiss Rogers are getting louder and louder. Although Rogers led the team to help Liverpool win the Premier League runner-up, that was when Suarez was still there. When Suarez left the team, what will Liverpool look like this season? Liverpool fans know best.
Rogers' original sin in Liverpool was to make Liverpool lose its soul!
This Liverpool one is getting further and further away from the impression!
Especially in the last two seasons, the team's original temperament has been completely lost. It is almost like clocking in and out, and it seems to be a strange team in front of the fans.
Anyone can lose. There is no difference between home and away games. It is rare to see reverse goals. This is a typical example of a raging army and a raging group of generals. The lack of spirit of Liverpool makes fans unable to love it.
Rogers was still arranging offensive tactics, and the players just nodded slightly, knowing what to do after taking the field. Their eyes no longer had the courage to look forward to death.
soon.
Amid everyone's surprise and expectation, the second half of the game is about to begin!
Neither side has made any substitutions, but Bournemouth's formation is even more iron-barrel. Now even Wilson has completely returned to the defense, leaving only Bai Ye to step forward and leave a counterattack point, and Eddie Howe does not have one. Count on Bai Ye to score again.
Bai Ye has done enough in this game!
All they need to do is defend, defend, defend! !
drop!
The second half of the game begins!
Liverpool did not unexpectedly choose to attack with all members, while Bournemouth immediately retreated to defense.
Rodgers' tactics at Liverpool are all about passing the ball, just like he did at Swansea.
However,
The current pass-and-control football has certain problems when facing Bournemouth's iron barrel formation, that is, it is difficult for them to directly obtain offensive opportunities, and there is no high point to create a threat with headers in the penalty area.
This makes Liverpool's ball control look a bit like invalid control. I can only keep falling back and forth on the periphery.
This situation also made Liverpool fans unable to bear it for the first time.
"Rogers should dismiss get out of class. What is Liverpool like now? What are they playing? If they can't even play in a Championship team, how can they compete with other Premier League giants?"
"Indeed, although Rodgers gave us Liverpool fans a wonderful season and even almost won the championship, the current Liverpool is indeed no longer the Liverpool we like. It is very unfamiliar."
"Liverpool needs to change! I think it's okay if we lose this game tonight. Anyway, we can't beat Chelsea. It's better to lose to Bournemouth, a team that has never played in the Premier League, and let the senior management take a good look at Liverpool now. What has become!"
Some fans also noticed Bai Ye.
"I think Liverpool can buy the young player No. 29 from the opposite side. As soon as this player touches the ball, you can see that he is a high-end product. He can just take over the aging Jay team."
Such words were immediately poured cold water on, "Don't think about it, Baiye is a high-end product in the transfer market! As poor as the Fenway Group is, forget it. It's impossible to spend a lot of money to compete with other Premier League teams. .”
"Indeed, if you want to buy Baiye now, it will cost at least 40 to 50 million pounds. This is not what Liverpool can afford."
Liverpool fans are discussing the dismissal of the head coach and the purchase of Bai Ye.
But the Bournemouth fans were very pure at this time, simply worried about the development of the situation on the field.
Every time Liverpool attacks, they feel nervous. Every time the Bournemouth players make a wonderful save, they will receive applause from the fans in the stadium.
Sixty-five minutes to go.
Eddie Howe knew that the players' physical exertion was huge, so he quickly chose to replace players with average physical fitness.
At the same time, substitutions are also used to delay time and allow the players to take a break.
Bai Ye always stayed on the field.
Because as long as he is on the field, he can contain at least two Liverpool players, which can be regarded as a disguised contribution to the defense.
Liverpool occupied 90% of the ball possession and took as many as 15 shots! However, there were only two shots on target, both of which were relatively positive and were resolved by the goalkeeper.
In China, He Wei saw this situation and said: "Liverpool's situation now is that they have the advantage but cannot score. It is still difficult for them to break through Bournemouth's goal.
Moreover, the biggest problem with Liverpool now is that the players don't know how to play. It seems that everyone is attacking, but in fact they are all ineffective attacks.
There are almost no attacks that can really penetrate Bournemouth's defense!
In this situation, many people would not have thought before the game that Liverpool would be played like this by Bournemouth.
However, if you are a fan who has watched the Bournemouth game, you should all know that Bai Ye's impact on this team is not only at the tactical level, but also at the spiritual level.
The current scene is a very good reflection! "
Liverpool attacked from all fronts.
And Bai Ye didn't see many opportunities in the midfield or backcourt, or even no chance at all, because the ball couldn't reach him at all.
Now that the opponent has learned a lesson, Henderson sticks to him the whole time without giving him any chance! Fortunately, Baiye himself didn't have a chance, and Liverpool didn't have a good chance either.
Time passes slowly.
Liverpool fans have begun to despair, it's been eighty minutes and they are still two goals behind!
What's more important is that there is no hope of scoring!
Eddie Howe felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He looked at the scoreboard and time on the field from time to time, wanting the game to end soon.
Rogers stood helplessly on the sidelines, calling on his players to attack, as they were running out of time!
But,
Bournemouth's defense is tough!
Both the starting players and the substitute players withstood the pressure!
When the time came to 93 minutes.
drop!
The referee's whistle sounds!
The game is over!
boom!
Boom boom! !
The entire Vitality Stadium erupted into an earth-shattering roar! Bournemouth defeated Liverpool and advanced to the next round of the EFL Cup! !
Their opponent will be the Premier League's top team, Chelsea, who are invincible this season!
