Chapter 33 Open the champagne at halftime
Chapter 33 Open the champagne at halftime
No one expected that Fulham would break through Ipswich's goal in less than a minute after the start of the game.
Judging from the formations of both sides, this game should not be a big one.
When both teams choose the 451 formation, they should focus more on controlling the tempo of the game by fighting for the ball and then looking for opportunities to score.
But Fulham's sudden attack at the beginning obviously caught Ipswich off guard.
McCarthy silently looked at the Fulham coach on the other side.
Obviously, he was tricked by the other party.
And as Fulham scored a quick break goal, the whole stadium erupted in loud cheers.
The Farmers themselves have a good fan base, and today's game is at Fulham's home ground.
This kind of game that establishes an advantage within the first minute is enough to make the fans at the scene cheer.
Fulham's goal not only made the fans at the scene excited, but also directly caused the netizens far away in the East to reach a collective climax.
【66666666! 】
[Fuck! Awesome!]
[Fulham is awesome! From today on, I declare that I am a Fulham fan! ]
【1:0，我当你一场比赛的粉丝，2；0我当你一星期粉丝；3:0一辈子粉丝；7：0你是我爹！】
【Fulham 7:0 Ipswich! 】
[Haha, Fulham beat Ipswich 7:0, does that mean Fulham can beat the Chinese national team 14:0? ]
Fan Zhiyi frowned as he watched the Fulham players cheering and celebrating in the live broadcast.
"To be honest, Ipswich was a bit careless in losing this goal. With five players crowded together in the midfield, you couldn't let the ball pass to the opposing striker."
For Fan Zhiyi, he naturally did not want Fulham to gain an advantage before Song Wen came on the court.
Because in this way, if Song Wen fails to make any achievements after taking the court, he will become a point of criticism from netizens.
But sometimes, the more people hope for something, the more things will go in the opposite direction.
There is a reason why Ipswich went from seventh in the Championship last season to second from last this season.
Whether in terms of technical and tactical coordination or in fighting spirit, the players seem to be a little bit behind Fulham.
After conceding the first goal, no matter how loudly McCarthy shouted for attack on the sidelines, Ipswich was still stuck in a vicious circle of passing the ball backwards.
The same 4-5-1 formation was used, but after minutes, Ipswich had only % possession of the ball.
This means that Ipswich's midfield ability has been completely defeated by Fulham.
Thirty minutes later, Ipswich finally found an opportunity when Fulham made an offensive mistake and launched a counterattack. Defender Chambers made a wonderful through pass, and midfielder Douglas got the ball and started to rush towards Fulham's penalty area.
At this time, Fulham had only three people on the back line, and in front of Douglas, there were also forward Pittman and winger Sears as support.
At this time, Douglas only needs to make a diagonal pass to easily give Pittman or Sears a chance to score a goal.
But Douglas just kept rushing forward until he was intercepted by a Fulham defender in front of the penalty area. Fulham then counterattacked again, and Fulham midfielder Cairney scored a world-class goal to make the score 2:0!
Fan Zhiyi almost swore after watching this goal.
"What the hell is going on here? Douglas, why don't you pass the ball? Is there some glue on your sneakers?"
On the court, starting forward Pittman was obviously a little confused about Douglas' behavior.
In fact, he and Douglas have a very good relationship, and it is precisely because of this that he was able to snatch the starting striker position from McGoldrick's feet. So he knew that normally, Douglas would not kick the ball like this.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Pittman pointed forward with his right hand.
"I could have shot it when it was passed to me just now."
Faced with Pittman's accusations, Douglas seemed a little impatient and did not respond, but just waved his hand unhappily.
Seeing Douglas like this, Pittman couldn't help but chase after him and said:
"I know what you're thinking. You're upset that the coach pays extra attention to that kid, and you want to prove yourself more on the court. But that's not how you play football, don't you understand?"
Faced with Pittman's persuasion, Douglas shook his arm unhappily and shook off Pittman's hand.
"What are you talking about? I'm just playing football normally. I don't take that yellow-skinned kid seriously at all. Just play your own forward well. I have the final say in the midfield!"
Seeing Douglas walk away, Pittman sighed.
Fulham, with a two-goal advantage, began to control the tempo.
For Fulham, a two-goal advantage was actually enough.
Although Ipswich is in poor form recently, the gap in strength between the two sides is actually not that big. In the previous record between the two teams, Fulham lost more than they won.
Ipswich's biggest problem now is the weakness of its forward line, with an average of only 0.8 goals per game.
In this situation, Fulham only needed to defend well. Although the game had only been going on for more than 30 minutes, it was almost over.
Amid the thunderous cheers from the Farmers Stadium, Ipswich Town failed to launch any threatening attack and ended the first half of the game with a score of 0:2 after five minutes of injury time.
The game entered halftime.
At this moment, there is a group of fans in the world who are more excited than the Fulham team and their fans.
In the distant Eastern country, netizens have already opened the champagne.
In Fan Zhiyi's live broadcast room, the screen was filled with flowers, applause and fireworks.
Fan Zhiyi frowned.
Although it was expected before the game started that it would be difficult to play against home team Fulham, the 2:0 lead at halftime and the complete crushing of all statistics such as ball possession, shooting and passing success rate still exceeded Fan Zhiyi's expectations.
"To be honest, there's no reason for this game to be played like this. Ipswich's midfielder definitely has a problem with his thinking. He wasted so many good opportunities!"
"Oh, hurry up and make a substitution. In the second half, just make a substitution. Replace Douglas with Song Wen. Maybe we can still have a chance."
Fan Zhiyi was worried and spoke directly about his inner thoughts.
This undoubtedly allowed the black fans, who were already confident of victory, to find a direction for their attack.
【Fan Zhiyi is also a fool. He scolded the national football team before and now he is giving away tumors. He is a complete traitor. 】
[Song Wen is your father? You, Fan Zhiyi, are Song Xiaozi?]
[If he really wants to save his tumor, he should ask the coach to not let him play. Otherwise, what if he shows up when he plays? ]
And perhaps it was because he felt the expectations of domestic netizens.
At the start of the second half, Song Wen was still sitting on the bench as steady as a rock.
