But Mourinho knows that now is not the time to think about this matter. He needs to take responsibility for the situation on the field. Bournemouth's offensive efficiency perfectly crushed Chelsea.
They haven't scored a goal yet. Although they have threatened several times, as long as they don't score, it's not a result!
Fans only watch the score!
The current score is 0-2!
The fans at Stamford Bridge seemed a little anxious. Of course, they were still full of confidence in the victory of this game. This is Chelsea! Luxurious Chelsea! They won't lose!
Chelsea kicks off again.
Their offense is still sharp, and Bournemouth's response is also to have all players return to defense. As a player with special treatment, Baiye is at the front and does not need to return to defense, while Pittman and Wilson both need to return to defense.
In fact, this is why in many counterattacks, Bai Ye is the only one at the front, because they really can't keep up, and defense consumes a lot of energy.
boom!
Boom boom!
Chelsea's offense mainly relies on the two wings. At this moment, Chelsea fans, although the team is two goals behind, their cheering voices do not stop and accompany every Chelsea attack.
Bang!
Soon, Hazard cut inside and shot directly!
This shot was extremely threatening, very sudden. Fortunately, Hazard did not shoot at an angle, only with strength and speed. However, goalkeeper Boruc's position was in the center, and the football went directly towards people, without testing Boruc. tz.
Boruc hugged the football tightly and then fell to the ground.
Shh!
This scene caused the Chelsea fans at the scene to boo the Bournemouth players, thinking that Boruc was stalling for time.
Shh! Shh!
The noise is getting louder and louder. This is also the vent of Chelsea fans' inner emotions at this time. They were originally unhappy with the score, and Boruc came to delay time.
The referee also blew the whistle to signal Boruc to serve quickly.
On social media, some Chelsea fans said: "It's only the first half and you're already lying on the grass?"
"This is too tasteless. You start lying down so early. Do it well. Don't regret it later. Do you really think that scoring two goals will mean Chelsea has no chance?"
Of course, some Chelsea fans are criticizing their own players.
"I don't know what Diego Costa is doing today. Why is he entangled with the opponent's defender? Can't he run more and look for opportunities? Do he have to fight with the opponent?"
"Hazard performed well today, but he just felt a little unlucky. He almost scored on several shots."
There were boos at Stamford Bridge.
After Boruc kicked the ball, as long as the Bournemouth players took the ball, they would be booed by the fans at the scene. It seemed that only in this way could these Blues fans vent their emotions.
soon,
When Ritchie got the ball from the wing, Hazard stole the ball away from his feet. The home fans were still booing the Bournemouth players.
Cheers suddenly broke out!
When Hazard quickly launched a counterattack on the spot, the fans cheered even more.
Bournemouth's players are very prepared for losing the ball. After losing the ball, they quickly return to defense. They all know that one person cannot defend the opponent, so they use their numerical advantage to defend as much as possible.
Chelsea's impact is very fierce!
Bournemouth's players, under the pressure of the opponent's back-and-forth scheduling, have been in a shaky situation, and the positions of many players have also changed.
At this point, they were completely relying on instinct to defend. As long as the person they were looking at was, they must follow them.
Man to man!
This kind of defensive tactics consumes a lot of physical energy. After all, the defender is the one who is being led. He doesn't know how the opponent will take the next step, so he always needs to spend more running distance.
On the other hand, Bournemouth's tactics also succeeded in making Chelsea's offense always end with a long shot in the last step.
They had no way to penetrate the ball further into the penalty area, there were too many defenders!
Hazard, Fabregas, and Oscar frequently wanted to perform some technical cooperation in a small space, but they were unable to penetrate Bournemouth's defense.
However, Bai Ye always had a sense of crisis in his heart. He didn't know how long his teammates could last. He couldn't return to defense. Once he did, he would be completely and unscrupulously besieged by the opponent.
He needs to stay in the midfield and become a nail that the opponent cannot ignore. Let Chelsea not dare to put all their numbers into the attack.
This is also invisible, leaving Chelsea's offense with many fewer options.
But Bai Ye also knows that this is not enough!
He needs to do more!
You need to amplify your own threats, so that the opponent also needs to take care of defense, involve the opponent's energy, and relieve the pressure of your teammates.
After thinking of this, Baiye retreated a little bit. He was going to catch the ball. As long as Bournemouth successfully intercepted the ball, it was an opportunity!
drop!
As the game gets longer and longer, the physical condition of Bournemouth players is not very good. At first they were able to defend by running more, but now they can only defend by fouling.
Chelsea received a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
Bai Ye took this opportunity to communicate with his teammates again. As long as he got the chance to get the ball, he didn't care about anything else and just passed the ball in his direction.
"At this stage of the game after more than 30 minutes, we can actually very clearly find that Chelsea has more free kicks in the frontcourt. The reason behind the increase in the number of fouls is the decline in physical fitness of Bournemouth players.
As I said at the beginning, Bournemouth's defense looks very resilient, but how long can this resilience last? This is Bournemouth's biggest crisis and Chelsea's biggest opportunity. When the opponent's physical fitness declines, Chelsea players' physical and technical advantages can be fully utilized. "
After seeing Chelsea's free kick opportunity from China, He Wei continued, "Of course, Bournemouth's defense is actually quite good this season, whether in the league or the cup. Many people will subconsciously be criticized by Bournemouth." Mouth's offensive statistics were shocking.
But in fact, their defense is also the best in the British Championship! So if Chelsea wants to completely defeat Bournemouth, they also need to think of a way. And they still have a problem they have to face, how to defend Bournemouth's counterattack and how to defend Baiye. "
On the court.
Fabregas and Oscar stood in front of the football, looked at the players who were constantly stuck in the penalty area, and stretched out their right hands.
Bang!
This time Fabregas made a false move, and Oscar followed up with a kick and passed the ball to the center of the penalty area.
Everyone jumped towards the landing point, and in the chaos, Chelsea's players finally touched the ball out of the baseline.
Goalball.
Boruc's movements were still slow, and this action also angered the Blues fans at the scene.
They began to boo violently.
Shh! ! !
Many fans kept shouting words starting with F and made international "friendly" gestures, hoping to vent their dissatisfaction in this way. Some fans even threw their own water glasses into the stadium.
Boruc didn't feel any displeasure at seeing such a scene. He just shrugged and continued his delaying tactics.
However, the referee will not coddle Boruc.
He stretched out his left hand and pointed at the watch on his wrist with his right hand, indicating that he would make up the time.
At the same time, the referee walked up to Boruc and warned him, "If you do this again, I will give you a yellow card."
Boruc nodded, then moved a little faster and released the ball.
This time, Boruc was directly looking for the position of Bai Ye that Bigfoot was looking for.
Bai Ye was well prepared for this and quickly ran towards the landing point, but Zuma was also very fast, and the two of them arrived at the landing point almost at the same time.
Jump at the same time!
Fighting for the ball in the air, how could Zuma's confrontation ability be compared with Bai Ye's? In the air confrontation, Bai Ye completely destroyed him!
Bang!
Baiye got the first point in the air, and he passed the ball towards Wilson who was inserted behind him.
However, Wilson failed to control the ball and Chelsea took control of the ball again.
Eddie Howe applauded on the sidelines. He could see that Baiye had a very obvious advantage in the confrontation. Although he failed to control the ball this time, this was an opportunity! He also signaled to his players on the sidelines to pass the ball forward once they have the chance!
As a top coach, Mourinho naturally saw that Bai Ye had an advantage in the confrontation with Zumatri. This was definitely a hidden danger.
But it’s only the first half and we can’t make substitutions directly. Mourinho is considering who to replace in the second half. The key is that Cahill is injured. Now there is only Cesar Azpilicueta and an 18-year-old Dutch defender. Young general Ake.
At guard, there aren't many to replace.
Chelsea still have to find a way to attack!
After successfully stealing the ball, Chelsea's players continued to launch continuous attacks against Bournemouth just as Mourinho envisioned.
The effect was very good. After forty minutes, Bournemouth's players were already panting from exhaustion, but they had to continue to defend.
That is to say, the fighting spirit of Bournemouth players is very strong. If they were a different team, they might have collapsed at this time.
When William brings the ball to the frontcourt, it is difficult to move forward. William's performance in this game is actually not outstanding. He is originally a speedy winger. Under such intensive defense, his speed advantage completely disappears.
On the contrary, players like Hazard who are good at controlling and dribbling the ball in a small area are not afraid of Bournemouth's intensive defense, but his footwork was not smooth today.
William still wanted to try to dribble forward. He made a hard breakthrough. Suman pulled William with his hands and squeezed William's space with his body, successfully blocking the ball!
William immediately complained to the referee about Sulman's pulling action on his hand, but the referee did not whistle the penalty and thought it was a normal action.
Shh!
Chelsea fans are angry. They don't give fouls for this kind of ball. Isn't this purely aimed at Chelsea?
After Suleman got the ball, regardless of whether the referee blew the whistle or not, he quickly took a step forward with the ball and looked in the direction of Bai Ye.
After determining the position, pass the ball over immediately!
This time, because Chelsea's offensive players are basically in the frontcourt, only Zumatri is defending Baiye in the midfield. Bai Ye relied on his physical confrontation ability to jump up and push the ball away while being defended by two people!
After landing, Bai Ye quickly ran towards the football, but he pushed it slightly to the side. If he pushed it straight, once he got rid of the defense, he would be single-handedly!
However, this does not affect the physical exertion of Chelsea's players at this time, and many of them are also unable to return to defense.
There was only Trizuma and Matic, who was running wildly.
Bai Ye chased to the wing and successfully controlled the football.
On the wing, closer to the stands, Bai Ye's ears were filled with boos from Chelsea fans, and he also heard many curses.
However, at this moment, Bai Ye turned a deaf ear. He just wanted to rush forward, continue to rush forward, and score goals! Quiet Stamford Bridge! Shut up these noisy fans!
call!
Bai Ye pushed his speed to the extreme, and he could hear his own breathing!
Neither Zuma nor Terry was particularly fast. At this moment, they also used all their strength to stop Bai Ye.
Although Matic's speed is pretty good, he is too far away to catch up.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Ye, who was carrying the ball, and everyone was reluctant to look away.
Bang!
Bai Ye pushed forward crazily. When he saw the probability of scoring a goal increasing little by little, when he reached a similar distance, he no longer chose to wait for the probability to increase, but directly took the shot!
With the blessing of super long-range shooting, he dares to shoot from anywhere!
