Especially Eddie Howe, who was a little confused by the sudden blow. Cook's importance to Bournemouth's defense is self-evident.
Although there are times when Cook gets lost and performs poorly, many times he is an important part of the team's defense.
Now he’s actually hurt!
And looking at the busy figures of the team doctors, Cook's injury is not optimistic.
The assistant coaches also gathered around Eddie Howe, and they were all nervously waiting for the team doctors' diagnosis. But soon, Eddie Howe and the others got bad news.
The team doctor gestured to Eddie Howe to make a substitution!
Cook’s problem is a bit big! There is no way to persist at all.
Eddie Howe nervously watched the slow-motion replay on the screen on the sidelines. When Cook was shaken by Benteke, he tried to kick his legs to keep up with the rhythm. When there was no confrontation, he fell to the ground. In this case, it may be a muscle tear.
The already tense defense staff is missing one more person.
Full-back Francis quickly warmed up on the sidelines, waiting to replace Cook. Cook's position is central defender. Now he can only bring Francis up to serve as central defender. There is no way, there is really no one.
In this game, Eddie Howe didn't even put up a 4-4-2 formation. Instead, he put out a 4-5-1 formation. It was for defense from the beginning, so he had already used all available defenders.
There is really no one to replace.
There are still people who can be replaced on the offensive end, but if Bai Ye is not defending, and offensive players are included, doesn't that give Vera a chance?
Although Villa's offense is weak, don't think too much of other Premier League teams.
On the field.
Cook looked a little painful. His pain was not due to his body, but because he fell when the team needed him most.
The center back, who was born in Hastings, England, has been playing for the team conscientiously since he came to Bournemouth in 2011. Although his strength is not that strong, his attitude is absolutely nothing to say.
He is also a very popular player among Bournemouth fans.
As the captain, Bai Ye helped Cook off the field with the team doctor. Seeing Cook's expression, Bai Ye said beside him: "Have a good rest and recuperate, the team has me."
Cook turned to look at Bai Ye, feeling a little better. He knew Bai Ye's skills. He didn't say anything more at this time. He just patted the hand on Bai Ye's shoulder twice.
The two looked at each other and said nothing.
China.
After seeing Cook go off injured and Villa leading by one goal, He Wei said: "Tonight's lady luck may not be on Bournemouth's side. One of the main central defenders that their defense relies on is injured and goes off. , more than just conceding a goal in this game.
And looking at Cook's appearance when he came off the field, the injury was not serious and he is expected to be out for a period of time. I hope it will not affect Bournemouth's subsequent record.
Bournemouth is now blindly defending and unable to counterattack at all. They may need to think of a way. "
On social media in England, Cook's injury also caused discussion among many Bournemouth fans.
They are all worried about one problem, will it affect the subsequent games?
Therefore, many fans are also on Bournemouth's official social media, urging the team to quickly recruit some people in the winter window, otherwise the team will really collapse!
At the same time, some fans who were already unhappy with Bournemouth also jumped out and ridiculed them at this time.
After the substitutions, the game between the two sides restarted.
Bai Ye didn't know much about the off-field matters, and even if he knew, he wouldn't worry about it. Now he just wants to find Vera's loopholes. He doesn't want to lose this game, and he can't lose it!
The treasure chest for five consecutive wins is right at your fingertips!
After Bournemouth kicked off again, the opponent still came up to press directly as always. They took advantage of this offensive method, and Villa naturally wanted to repeat it.
More importantly, he can use this way of controlling the ball to replace defense.
Benteke repeatedly stretched space in Bournemouth's penalty area, waiting for the pass from his teammates. The ball just now gave him confidence.
But both head coach Lambert and Benteke were on top because of this goal!
They have all forgotten what kind of team Villa are currently and what type of player Benteke is.
In fact, players like Benteke represent typical second- and third-rate centers. They are most appropriately described as battering rams. The characteristic of this type of forward is that he mainly relies on physical strength to score goals.
The usage scenario of this kind of striker should be in a weak team with him as the core. High-altitude balls and ground balls from the wing and center were constantly hitting him, and he relied on his body to grab position. Then head the ball home, or finish the shot with a powerful force that works wonders.
Because there are more opportunities to attack. After a season, he will become the team's leading scorer. This has led to the mistaken belief that he has the potential to become a top striker. In fact, he has already performed beyond the ordinary.
This is the characteristic of Benteke, and Bernie is very similar to him.
Bernie scored a lot of goals at Swansea, and then Manchester City bought him in order to enrich their tactical play. Faced with Manchester City's embroidered style of play, Bernie also showed acclimatization, and then gradually sank.
This is very similar to Benteke's experience at Liverpool.
Systematically speaking, this type of forward has four major shortcomings: he does not have the ability to dribble and break through, so he usually stays in the penalty area and is sloppy when counterattacking;
Poor basic skills, poor short passing, long passing, and stopping the ball;
The shooting conversion rate is relatively low, and miracles are achieved entirely by relying on strength, often wasting excellent scoring opportunities;
His golf IQ is relatively low, so even if he has excellent physical conditions, it is difficult to become an excellent tactical fulcrum.
Although Benteke's goal just now made Villa fans very happy, it was not at his level. It was just because Cook's sudden injury gave him a chance.
When they want to use this pressing method of ball control again to play the entire game, or to widen the score gap, it will be very difficult!
Bai Ye was constantly observing in the gaps between the opponent's ball possession and attacks. He was looking for Villa's loopholes.
In his opinion, Vera is full of loopholes.
Especially when the opponent is fully pressing, as long as he can get the ball and Wilson rushes out, it's an opportunity!
What's more, Baiye once again gained some attributes from the Villa players in this game.
At this time, the attributes are significantly improved in terms of speed compared to before.
[Physical fitness: 85
Speed: 70
Shots: 75
Passes: 100
Dribbling: 65
Defense: 60
Strength: 97]
The speed attribute of 70 is no longer slow!
Bai Ye is waiting for the opportunity to fight back.
Lambert wants to take advantage of Bournemouth's main center back being injured, increase his offensive intensity, and win a big score to consolidate his position as coach.
But soon, Lambert’s idea fell through!
And the opportunity Bai Ye wanted to fight back came!
Twenty-eight minutes.
Benteke competed for a header in the penalty area, but Elphick pushed the ball out. Elphick did not push the ball far.
Fortunately, Francis, who came on as a substitute, was nearby and took advantage of Benteke's inflexibility to clear the ball first.
The football was cleared out of the penalty area.
Bai Ye has been observing the situation in the penalty area. This time he instructed Wilson to run forward in advance, and he himself quickly got rid of the opponent's defensive player Bacuna who had been following him.
Got the football first!
Wilson was walking towards the opponent's half court in small steps. The moment he saw Bai Ye catching the ball, he started directly!
He is not worried about Bai Ye's passing problem at all!
really!
After Wilson started, before he was about to appear in the offside position, Baiye carried Bacuna's defense and passed the ball!
After passing the ball, Baiye shook off Bacuna and immediately moved forward!
Bacuna wanted to follow up and defend, but Baiye pushed him, causing him to delay his center of gravity for a second or two. By the time he adjusted his center of gravity and rushed forward, Baiye had already thrown him away several times. Status!
Villa's players were already quickly returning to defense after Wilson launched the attack, especially after Bai Ye advanced.
But they pressed a little too deep.
Because of Wilson's understanding of Bai Ye, he had sufficient start-up time, and his speed advantage was fully utilized!
The two central defenders, Okore and Clark, rushed towards Wilson one after another, trying to stop Wilson's attack. Because once Wilson breaks through, it's a one-shot!
However, they ignored one person!
White leaves!
Bai Ye's forward movement was very fast. The central defender who was trailing behind did not notice Bai Ye's forward movement, and the players behind him who saw Bai Ye's forward movement could not keep up.
When they shouted to their teammates to pay attention to Bai Ye.
It's too late!
Wilson made a back pass and passed the ball to the middle. Bai Ye just stepped in to catch the ball, and his eyes were wide open.
An average player would throw the ball forward a short distance to be safe at this time, because this is an excellent opportunity for a single shot.
Villa's Irish goalkeeper Given was already making an attack, intending to block Bai Ye's shot after he moved forward.
However,
Bai Ye's kick shot has already been superb, especially the ability to shoot from long range. In this case, Bai Ye didn't hesitate at all.
Bang!
Facing Wilson's pass, he directly hit the ground with a violent kick!
The football had almost no arc and rushed directly to the lower corner of the goal at a super fast speed!
Uh-huh!
When Ji Wen heard the sound of the net, he didn't move at all and froze on the spot. When he had already made the attack action, his center of gravity shifted. When he saw that it was a shot, he wanted to save it, but his body could no longer adjust!
The ball went in!
Bai Ye used a super world wave to equalize the score for Bournemouth at Villa Park!
1-1!
Both sides are back at the same starting point again!
Although there were only more than a thousand Bournemouth fans in the away game, they still made their voices heard.
In the corner, he looks so weak, yet full of strength!
"White leaves!"
"White Leaf!!"
Bai Ye saw the position of the Bournemouth fans, which happened to be in the corner stand on this side, and he rushed to the stand immediately.
Celebrate crazily with your fans!
The teammates rushed up and hugged Bai Ye. They equalized!
This goal was very exciting. Not only the Bournemouth fans at the scene, but all the Bournemouth fans who watched the live broadcast of the game, and even some neutral fans, felt that Bai Ye's performance was extremely exciting!
"Bai Ye is strong! Oh my god! Such a player is simply unstoppable! Not only can he pass the ball, but he can also shoot! It is our honor at Bournemouth to have Bai Ye!"
"Haha! I knew that Bai Ye would be able to score goals for us. If I saw the team falling behind in the past, I would be nervous and scared.
But it’s different now, Bai Ye is here! I dare to say to any team, no matter how many you score, Baiye can score again! "
"White Leaf! The eternal god of Bournemouth!"
"Excited! So excited! Bai Ye really made me wet! It's so strong!
However, I still want to say that the top management of our team must make signings in the winter window! Now everyone knows that there is a big gap between Bournemouth's substitute lineup and the main lineup.
And Cook's injury just now was caused by the intensive schedule. If we don't sign any players and continue to beat these players to death, I don't know how many players will be injured by then!
Especially Bai Ye!
If Bai Ye is injured, Bournemouth will probably collapse completely, let alone compete for the championship this season!
White Leaf is Bournemouth's upper limit! ! "
The excitement of the fans was also expressed in the Bournemouth coaching bench on the sidelines.
Eddie Howe was so excited that he waved his fists continuously, trying to vent the depression in his heart.
Bai Ye did it!
When Bournemouth needed someone to stand up the most, he stood up again!
Saved the team!
This is the core of Bournemouth, this is the captain of Bournemouth!
This is Bai Ye! !
The director of the live broadcast also aimed the camera at Baiye, then at the Bournemouth fans, and then at the Bournemouth coaching bench.
These scenes, through the broadcast footage, were faithfully conveyed to various places around the world where the game was broadcast.
In China.
He Wei saw Bai Ye's kick and exclaimed: "Bai Ye! Bai Ye's ultra-far world wave! A ground-breaking kick directly penetrated the goal guarded by Ji Wen!
We were just talking about whether Villa's massive pressure would give Bournemouth a chance, and whether Bournemouth could seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Before the words were spoken for too long, Bai Ye told us and the Villa players with his actual performance.
Don't give him a chance!
Bai Ye is the player with the highest counterattack efficiency in the entire British Championship!
This game once again confirmed this, the data does not lie!
It is not that easy for Villa to win. Bournemouth is a British Championship team, but it is not a British Championship team in people's minds.
Even Liverpool suffered defeat at Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium. Will Villa follow in the footsteps, or knock Bournemouth out of the FA Cup? "
