Chapter 57 Go! Adam! !
Chapter 57 Come on! Adam! !
"Chelsea made a substitution as soon as the second half came up!!" He Hongfa said excitedly while sitting in the live broadcast room, "With a Serie B team, being able to force Scolari to this level is enough to show that Coach Gao Bo's ability!!"
The substitution was made at half-time, which showed that Chelsea did not play well in the first half, which led Scolari to make adjustments at the beginning of the second half.
"Drogba comes on.... he replaces... Joe Cole!!"
"Chelsea now have two centre-forwards on the pitch and Luton will be under even more pressure in the second half!! Let's see how Coach Gao Bo will respond!"
How will Gao Bo respond?
After Drogba played, Gao Bo was indeed a little nervous. Ivory Coast has a reputation for being a monster. He was a little worried that George Parker and Jeffrey could not stop the impact of this powerful center.
Scolari was sitting on the coach's bench. After Drogba came on the field, the Brazilian coach remembered. After being interrupted by Abramovich, he himself forgot the placement of Drogba and Anelka. ...
"Chelsea really want to play a double striker!!!"
Drogba didn't care what Anelka thought, anyway, after he played, he naturally stood in the center position.
Anelka is also very helpless about this, but the French are unwilling to let him play on the wing.
The team leader Lampard also had a headache. Joe Cole was replaced. The two center forwards in the frontcourt were unwilling to pull the side. The coach did not make it clear after the 15-minute break, which made Chelsea There is a big gap on the right...
In the end, it was Lampard who coordinated the relationship within the team. He asked Mikel to play in the right midfield, Deco dragged at the end, and Lampard himself was in front of Deco.
In this way, Chelsea's position is the 442 of the midfield diamond, with the two centers at the top.
Gao Bo stood on the sidelines with his hands in his trouser pockets, but his expression was not relaxed.
After seeing the position on the field, Scolari was about to lash out at the players who made their own claims on the field, but when he stepped out of the coaching bench and saw Gao Bo's appearance, he changed his mind.
Since the coach of the other side is so dreadful of Chelsea playing a double striker... so it's okay to try!
Gao Bo did not know that his expression made the Chelsea coach change his attention. In fact, his worries were not unreasonable.
After the frontcourt became a two striker, Chelsea began to play their wing advantages.
Ashley Cole and Malouda against Kevin - Keane and Mitchell Piran, Chelsea occupies an absolute advantage in terms of personal strength.
The biggest weakness of Luton's lineup is the weakness of the flanks, because although the individual strength of several full-backs is not bad in the second league, they are not good at playing against Premier League opponents, especially a team with super strong lineup like Chelsea. In comparison, Luton's wing will have a big problem.
After Malouda got the ball, he attracted Kevin Keane's defense, and then he sent a through ball to the wing.
Ashley Cole, who was inserted in the back, was already hungry and thirsty. Scolari's playing style completely suppressed the full-back who had the heart of a striker. After this change of 442, the frontcourt Once again to Ashley - Cole galloping grassland.
Mitchell Piran was easily passed by Ashley Cole, and then he was ready to tackle a foul and failed to keep Ashley Cole.
Fortunately, the captain - Kevin - Keane is experienced, he made up for the lost position of Mitchell - Piran.
However, Ashley Cole didn't plan to continue forward. He passed the ball with his left foot and the football flew to the penalty area!
"Drogba!!!!"
Geoffrey found that he was completely at a disadvantage when confronting Drogba.
Although the young Jeffrey is a good jumper, it is difficult for him to play a role when he loses his position advantage. What's more, in the case of head-to-head confrontation, Jeffrey is far worse than Drogba!
Drogba jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal! !
Gao Bo felt like his heart was about to stop! !
I still underestimate Chelsea.... When Chelsea used their familiar routines, Luton was indeed completely suppressed by the opponent in terms of strength...
However, Jeffrey and George Parker still interfered with Drogba's header. Drogba, who touched the ball for the first time after playing, didn't feel very good. He put the ball a little higher.
But that still scares the Luton players.
Jeffrey was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Drogba. In the face of this Ivorian monster, the young Jeffrey is not as good as the opposite Drogba in terms of physical strength, game experience and technical level...
Jeffrey bit to stand up, and when he confronted Drogba in the air, he felt like he was fighting a real monster!
Gao Bo actually guessed the result. Although Geoffrey has a card bonus, the eighteen-year-old Geoffrey is still far from winning the direct confrontation with Drogba.
Seeing little Jeffrey looking to the side of the court, it was like a beast who was beaten habitually trying to find shelter from an adult beast...
Gao Bo held out his thumb and smiled at Jeffrey.
Jeffrey, whose self-confidence was a little shaken, became firm again.
The coach thinks I'm doing a good job! !
That's right! !
I did a good job, at least Drogba didn't score! !
Jeffrey's fighting spirit did not collapse, but Gao Bo knew that he couldn't let his central defender be directly exposed to the impact of the opponent's powerful center.
The midfielder has to do more.
"N'Golo!!! Watch out for the side lanes!!!"
Gao Bo shouted at Kante! In Luton's lineup, Gao Bo's most trusted defender is still Kante. The energetic Kante can cover most of the backcourt.
Now that Chelsea has created a threat through the wing, the other side will definitely continue to make a fuss on the wing. When the wing is in a hurry, the two midfielders need to assist the defense on the wing.
Chelsea quickly made a comeback. Ashley Cole was racing at high speed on the wing. Just as he was about to cross, Kante made a steady tackle and snatched the ball from Ashley Cole's feet. Ashley Cole was also brought to the ground by Kanter.
Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief. Kante's physical fitness is very good, which also allows him to run almost all over the field. Kante, who has super interception ability, is a patch of Luton's defense line. You can post it wherever you need it...
But even if there are no longer as good cross opportunities as before, Chelsea can still find space for crosses.
In the next game, Chelsea created more threats than in the first half. Drogba's presence was very strong. In the penalty area, we frequently saw this super-physical center attacking the goal after grabbing a point.
Luton's line of defense is in jeopardy! ! !
Gao Bo stood on the sidelines and when he saw Drogba once again headed the ball towards Luton's goal, he couldn't hold it any longer...
The ball missed the post, and Gao Bo yelled at the sidelines.
"Adam!! Go warm up!!!"
Hearing this, Adam immediately put on his training vest and ran to the sidelines.
"That's my brother!! My brother is going to play!!" In the Luton fan area, Alan White, wearing Adam's No. 22 jersey, stood up from his seat excitedly.
"After you go up, grab the ball and rush!!! Your movement is very free, you can go to the left or the right!! After the breakthrough, pass or shoot, you can act according to your own circumstances!!!" A few minutes later, Gao Bo was present. While wrapping his arms around Adam's shoulders, he whispered in his ear.
"Remember!! Don't be afraid of them!! Ashley Cole can't keep up with you!! Got it?!!"
"Understood!! Boss!!"
Adam's face is full of excitement! !
Gao Bo patted the seventeen-year-old boy on the shoulder.
"Go on!! Adam!"
