It feels too humiliating.

Would it be more suitable for her to let her practice the Vajra Kick and Iron Head Kung Fu, and then develop the Italian women's football career?

Combining Kung Fu with football, it’s definitely something to do!

Uh...it seems like practicing Tieshan would be good too?

But then you might have to consider practicing basketball. If you add singing, dancing, and rap, you will definitely become popular!

On January 24, Chelsea will face an away game in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Their opponent is Bournemouth from the English Championship.

As far as the team itself is concerned, it is actually lackluster, and there are no stars worth mentioning throughout the team.

But their head coach is a man with a relatively legendary experience. Although he is not very famous, he can be said to be one of the top coaches in the world - Eddie Howe.

He stayed at Bournemouth for a full ten years. As a leader among the new generation of local coaches in the UK, in the past few years, whenever a giant club in the Premier League wants to change coaches, Eddie Howe's name will always be mentioned.

Mention.

Later, he finally left Bournemouth and joined a quasi-rich club, Newcastle United after the Saudi consortium took over.

In fact, he was the first signing after the Saudi consortium took over Newcastle.

There, he did not wave a check to buy people everywhere, but used a very pragmatic lineup to play very good results, and was in the ranks of competing for a Champions League spot with the big6.

So, why is he favored by so many teams?

Because of what he did at Bournemouth.

Let’s put it this way, if in the Football Manager FM game, you are given a fourth-tier English second-division underdog that has been in financial crisis for many years, it is deeply immersed in the quagmire of relegation, and is still 10 points away from landing, plus

A two-year transfer ban prevents you from buying anyone.

Given ten years, where can you take this team?

Can you successfully take it to the top flight and establish itself in the Premier League?

If you are not an experienced player, you may not be able to do this without some strategies and divine formations.

However, in reality, some people actually do it.

The person who realized this amazing journey of ten years was none other than Eddie Howe, a representative of the new generation of British local coaches, and the Cherries Bournemouth team he led.

Eddie Howe, who was born in 1977 and plays as a defender, can be said to have been unremarkable throughout his professional playing career.

He basically spent his career at Bournemouth. Although he was selected for the England U21 team and played in the Toulon Cup, he has never played in the top league.

However, he is deeply loved by Bournemouth fans.

When he was brought to the English Championship team Portsmouth by Old Redknapp but was retired for the season due to a serious injury, Bournemouth fans actually bought him through crowdfunding when the club's financial situation was in dire straits.

Come back!

This act of raising pounds sterling also created the new term "Eddie Shares".

This also made Eddie Howe full of feelings for Bournemouth.

At this time, who could have thought that this own child would one day become the hero of the entire city of Bournemouth!

The Cherries, founded in 1899, is located in Bournemouth, a coastal resort town in Dorset, southern England, with a local population of less than 200,000.

Dean Court Stadium, Bournemouth's home ground, is also the smallest stadium in the entire history of the Premier League era. It can only accommodate a little over 10,000 people, which is about the same as York City's home ground.

After Eddie Howe retired and became the head coach of Bournemouth, in the 2008-09 season, Bournemouth was relegated to the fourth tier of English League Two due to financial disputes and the change of ownership of the club.

He was fined 17 points for a series of problems and was barely allowed to stay in the league.

Until the 31-year-old Eddie Howe became the fire coach, they were still ranked bottom and 10 points behind the relegation zone.

In this darkest moment in the history of Bournemouth, I believe that even the most loyal Cherries fans would not have thought that this was the moment when a city hero was born and led the home club to embark on an amazing journey and reach the peak of history.

.

Eddie Howe first led the Cherries, which was almost in dire straits, to a triumphant escape in the 2008-09 season and successfully avoided relegation.

Then in the 2009-10 season, the transfer ban was extended and unable to buy anyone, he led the team to successfully upgrade two rounds in advance and return to League One!

After leaving briefly and returning to Bournemouth in the 12-13 season, Eddie Howe reversed the team's decline at the beginning of the season and eventually led the team to promotion to the English Championship.

After establishing a foothold in the English Championship in the 13-14 season, Eddie Howe led Bournemouth to create another miracle in the 14-15 season, and finally won the English Championship that season, thus gaining promotion for the first time in history after the club was founded 116 years ago.

Enter the top league of English football!

Of course, in the current timeline, Bournemouth has not yet been promoted, but it is almost there.

In the current 2014-2015 season, 27 rounds of the English Championship have been played, and the one currently ranked first in the standings is Bournemouth!

In this way, it sounds like a fairy tale that can only happen in football manager games has been successfully realized in reality. The Cherries, which were once close to bankruptcy, have been promoted to three levels in a row in 6 years! They have broken into the Premier League!

And when everyone thought this was just a flash in the pan story, in the blink of an eye, Eddie Howe and Bournemouth led by him had been competing in the Premier League for five consecutive seasons...

They actually really established a foothold in the Premier League.

Of course, no one can deny that the main contributor behind all this success is Eddie Howe.

The formation he often uses at Bournemouth is 4-4-2, a formation that is almost extinct in modern football.

Fans who don’t watch much of the Cherries’ games may think that Eddie Howe, like his old-school British predecessors, likes to play in a fixed formation, arranging long passes and lobs, high-flying strikes, and 45-degree bombing

, as a weak side, it just shrinks its defense against a strong team and focuses on counterattacks.

But in fact, as a mid-to-lower team, Bournemouth, under the leadership of Eddie Howe, has shown flexibility in formation and specificity in facing different teams' playing styles.

Characteristic.

Even in the face of strong opponents, they dare to take the ball and press high. They also have the remarkable characteristics of balancing the integrity of the team organization with the flexibility of tactical changes.

So if you look closely at Bournemouth's games, you will actually see different formations, 442, 4141, 433, 4231, 343, 541 and so on.

In fact, Eddie Howe is the kind of coach who pays great attention to details on the training field.

Some coaches will feel that some basic techniques and tactics, including some basic skills, should be taught by youth team coaches and trained in the echelon.

But Eddie Howe is the kind of hands-on, hands-on head coach who likes one-on-one guidance, instills his own tactical concepts into the players, corrects some minor mistakes of the players, and follows the top-down requirements of his own system.

own players.

——From this point of view, he is even stronger than Pan Yi.

After all, Pan Yi is not a professional player. If he were to leave the field in person, it would be too difficult for Pan Yi to coach.

Eddie Howe always seems calm and gentle when speaking at press conferences or interviews, but when he shouts on the training field, he is full of passion and enthusiasm.

Complementing Eddie Howe's coaching philosophy is Bournemouth's player recruitment strategy.

This is actually similar to Guardiola's buying strategy, which is to buy people very clearly according to the team's head coach's tactical system.

At the same time, as a small club with a limited budget, Bournemouth often buys players who are hungry and want to take a further step in their careers.

Looking back, this is also related to Eddie Howe's own experience as a player. He debuted in a low-level league, worked hard, and expected to become a top player, although in the end it did not happen due to injuries.

In the past few years, for example, Eddie Howe bought Cullen Wilson and Lewis Cook from the lower leagues. Under the training of Eddie Howe, they have improved in their respective careers.

They have made great progress, and have been selected for the national team and even become a regular player in the national team.

Interestingly, Bournemouth under Eddie Howe has the reputation of "the nemesis of the Blues".

After they were promoted to the Premier League as a newly promoted team, their first five encounters with Chelsea resulted in 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, giving them an absolute advantage.

Considering that Chelsea at that period basically used a three-back system, especially during the Conte era, they used a 3-4-3 formation that was very close to Pan Yi's Chelsea. Pan Yi's Bournemouth team

Still a little scared.

Therefore, Pan Yi conducted a detailed study of Eddie Howe's tactical system.

Often when faced with such an opponent, it is easier for the team to have paralyzed thoughts and thus capsize.

Although Pan Yi doesn't value the FA Cup that much, he doesn't give up casually.
