The poor condition is real, and the secret weapon is also real.
For Hodgson, he originally bought Bjorn Riese from Norway with long-term plans and purposes, but a small figure like Bjorn Riise rarely gets the focus of the media.
Bjorn Riise is originally a player who is strong in offense and weak in defense. This is said in the Norwegian league. It needs to be said in the Premier League. Let alone poor condition, he is in the best condition. Bjorn Riise is not there.
He must be able to block the opponent's impact from the left path he is guarding!
But in terms of strengths, Bjorn Riise's assists are very powerful on Fulham's left side. Duff, who has passed his peak period, is sometimes not as sharp as Bjorn Riise!
In the 2008 European Cup qualifiers, Bjorn Riise represented the Norwegian national team and scored a hat trick of assists against Malta. In the Norwegian League and the Belgian League, Riise also showed his power in assists many times.
In this season's Europa League, Riise once had the experience of replacing Zoltangla as a left winger. He provided two assists after coming on in the 78th minute, fully proving his value in assists.
Players who are strong in offense and weak in defense cannot be used as the main force for Hodgson, who emphasizes regional defense and the player's personal defensive ability. However, when the team encounters a crisis, they can be used to fight to the death and become a secret weapon.
In the 80th minute, he was replaced by Bjorn Riise, who was strong in offense and weak in defense, which showed that Hodgson was ready to go all out! This was also Hodgson's second risk after the full pressure in the opening game.
(two)
After using his speed to get rid of Boateng, Bjorn Riise did not pass the ball, but broke into the penalty area with a touch of speed!
This was Hodgson's explanation before taking the field. Within just two or three minutes after the Hamburg team made the substitution, Hodgson keenly discovered the Hamburg team's intention to adjust.
The Chinese guy had a good idea. He wanted to block both the left midfielder and the right back, the two sources of attack, and then use the veteran Rozenar to strengthen the defense against headers.
If it weren't for Dempsey and Bjorn Riise's cards, the Chinese guy's point defense would have basically blocked all the artillery transport channels in Fulham's offense! This is why Hodgson was beaten by Chen Zhuo
Forced to use desperate tactics!
Any adjustment will have pros and cons. If Chen Zhuo defends the left wing and Best defends the right wing, then the defense in the middle will be weakened accordingly. The two forwards will pester Demel and Rozenar, and Yarolim will withdraw.
To defend against the outstanding Bjorn Riise, Berg defended Simon Davis and Etuhu alone, and there was another leak in the defense...
As long as one can form a one-to-many containment through breakthroughs on the wing, the balance of the entire scene will be immediately broken!
Calling Ogo to step forward to guard Dempsey, Chen Zhuo returned to the middle to help Berg fill the position... Ruud van Nistelrooy now no longer has enough physical strength and speed to recover. In fact, he restrained the opponent's two central defenders and did not dare to
Pressing forward, tactically speaking, it has achieved its effect and purpose.
Bjorn Riise's passing line is very sneaky! It's almost a gap in the crowd, and the ball goes straight to Dempsey at the back point!
Ogo fell. It was obvious that Dempsey and Ogo were fighting for position. Dempsey hit Ogo with his elbow. As a "reamer", Ogo could not fall to the ground for no reason!
Dempsey got rid of Ogo and hit the ball with his left foot!
The referee didn't blow the whistle to call a foul on this ball! Rost flew sideways and failed to touch the ball, and Dempsey's long shot bounced into the goal!
(three)
Rost jumped up from the ground and ran outside the penalty area. At this time, Yarolim and Ruud van Nistelrooy also ran over and argued with the referee that the penalty area should be invalid!
The linesman did not raise the flag to indicate a foul, but ran towards the center line...
The referee hesitated for a moment, blew the whistle and pointed at the center circle, and ruled that the goal was valid...
Aaron Hughes and Etuhu rushed over to pull up Ogo who was lying on the ground. Chen Zhuo ran over and pushed them to the side one by one, signaling the players to get out of the way and not to crowd together.
Chen Zhuo saw with his own eyes that it was Dempsey's elbow that hit Ogo's Adam's apple. This kind of blow may even make people suffocate!
The team doctor and staff came over to provide first aid. Chen Zhuo, who has had military training since he was a child and had military first aid experience, personally helped Ogo expand his chest and smooth his breath...
Regarding the friction and dispute between the players on both sides, the referee hurriedly blew his whistle to stop it. The Hamburg players asked the referee to invalidate the goal. The Fulham players shouted that this was a normal collision and they should respect the referee's decision.
And diverted the referee's attention by squeezing Hamburg players.
The big screen at the scene never showed the slow motion of Ogo falling to the ground, but the live TV screen was already playing the foul just now. Maybe Dempsey did it unintentionally, but this kind of raising his arms and elbows
The action of hitting the ball must be a foul. The referee of this game had a fatal problem in the final stage!
After some fiddling, Ogo was finally fine, but it was impossible to continue playing. The referee looked up at his watch. After all this fiddling, at least two minutes had passed.
(Four)
"Mr. Referee, this is the second player on our team who was injured due to a deliberate foul. I saw with my own eyes that damn Yankee hit my teammate's Adam's apple with his iron-like elbow..." Chen Zhuo waited until
After confirming that there was no problem, Ogo asked several teammates surrounding the referee to leave and negotiated with the referee himself.
"Watch your wording! And... this is an international competition! Of course, there are some collision standards in the Premier League and the Bundesliga, yes, there is a difference..." The referee basically understood in his heart that he and the linesman did not see the foul clearly.
, but the referee was hesitant to disallow the goal.
"No, no, no, Mr. Referee." Chen Zhuo shook his finger and said: "This has nothing to do with which country's league. Every country's league has players who abide by the rules and respect the rules. Every country's league also has some players who are villains.
Butchers and liars! The key is you, Mr. Referee, you can’t let them succeed again and again under your nose..."
"Mr. Referee, I protest. The opponent's player used language that insulted the surname and should be expelled with a red card..." When Fulham captain Simon Davis ran over, he heard Chen Zhuo say "villains, butchers and liars."
The referee stared and said harshly: "Boy, pay attention to your attitude, I have the right to send you off!"
Chen Zhuo sneered: "Really? Mr. referee, I don't think you will do this. From your perspective, you did not see the foul and insisted on your penalty. Whether it is a misjudgment or not will be decided by the Technical Supervision Committee, and I represent
It is our right to complain and negotiate with the captain of the team. Firstly, it is not a threat, and secondly, there is no personal attack. In front of so many cameras in the audience, will you show me a red card? Sir, the person you should give the penalty to is standing behind you.
, he is the leader of this gang of villains and liars..."
"Boy, yellow-skinned monkey, keep your mouth clean! Referee, did you hear that? Isn't he a threat?" Simon Davis encouraged.
(five)
Chen Zhuo was not impulsive when he dared to say such words. He also had a plan. Even if there was really something shady, then just like what Chen Zhuo said just now, his behavior was neither a threat nor a personal attack. If the referee
If a red card is really shown, it will give the Hamburg club a better excuse to question and complain. Although the possibility of overturning the result of a game and replaying it is very slim, it is not without precedent!
There is another possibility for this kind of thing, and it is the possibility with the highest probability, that is, the referee did not have any intention to favor Fulham, but was just a misjudgment that was unfavorable to Hamburg. Later, the referee did not want to cause more controversy and made the mistake.
, this is just a technical issue. The referee may receive some criticism and punishment after the game, but it will not involve shady issues.
If it is the second possibility, then the referee will probably find a balance in the next time. Referees are also humans, not machines, so Chen Zhuo also has his own ideas for this "provocation".
The words were serious, and the referee was also very unhappy. However, after careful consideration, the referee did not show the intention of sending Chen Zhuo off. The referee was also hesitant whether to give a yellow card or not.
At this time, Fulham captain Simon Davies chirped, which gave the referee a chance.
The referee, who couldn't find the steps, took out a yellow card and showed one to each of Chen Zhuo and Simon Davis, trying to save his face. Simon Davis felt that he was wronged and wanted to argue. Seeing the referee's anger, he was gray.
Slipping back.
After recording, the referee turned around and saw the Fulham players still celebrating endlessly. He ran to the sidelines and signaled them to enter the field as soon as possible. Dempsey, who had scored a goal, came back a little slower and was shown by the referee standing on the sidelines.
A yellow card...
However, the goal was not canceled in the end. Dempsey's obvious foul was missed by the referee. This goal is likely to cause Hamburg's efforts to be wasted!
Despite the referee's mistakes, it has to be said that Hodgson's risky attempt just now was successful again. The entire offensive line was very clear and concise, with Bjorn Riise's wing breakthrough, multiple players' interspersed movements, Dempsey
His accurate response and long-range shot, if it weren't for the elbow strike, this goal would be a very classic tactical case of cooperation between the two wings.
Ogo was replaced due to injury, Chen Zhuo used up his last quota, and when he started to serve the midfield ball, the game had already entered stoppage time.
In the 7 minutes of injury time, the Fulham fans at home booed dissatisfiedly. This was a torturous time for both sides.
