After the start of the second half.
Bolton made personnel adjustments.
And their tactics, especially their defensive arrangements.
Have also undergone major changes!
Long Fei clearly felt.
Bolton players were defending him at all times. Obviously.
After he completed two consecutive assists in the first half.
Bolton reacted.
They sent players to man-mark him.
The one guarding him was Bolton's defensive midfielder, Sindis.
Sindis is 188CM tall and weighs 88 kilograms.
He is a typical beast-like midfielder.
He is very strong.
Although Long Fei's height and weight.
Are similar to Sindis's.
But after several physical confrontations with his opponent.
Long Fei immediately discovered.
This guy's strength is stronger than his!
Long Fei's current strength attribute is only 75.
Although among the players in the Championship.
It's considered decent.
But when encountering a player who specializes in strength.
He's still very passive!
Sindis stayed very close to Long Fei as soon as he came on.
He followed Long Fei like a shadow.
Sindis's constant interference.
Had a big impact on Long Fei.
It's unavoidable.
Currently, except for his long-pass attribute.
Which is at the ceiling level of 99.
His other attributes are simply not good enough!
His overall ability rating is only 72.
In the Championship.
His overall strength is just an average midfielder.
Soon.
Sindis's man-marking defense.
Began to show obvious results.
Long Fei could no longer, like in the first half.
Have enough space to get the ball and make long passes.
The Blackburn fans in the stands.
Their previous excitement.
Gradually calmed down.
Seeing Long Fei's ball control being challenged.
Many fans were anxious.
“Long Fei's long passes are simply amazing, no doubt about it.”
“But he seems a bit too ordinary in other aspects!”
“Why isn't anyone coming to support Long Fei?!”
“A long-pass genius like Long Fei should always have teammates protecting him!”
“That's right! Give Long Fei enough space to get the ball and make long passes!”
Sindis, now proudly standing beside Long Fei, sarcastically said:
“Yellow skin boy, why aren't you passing anymore?”
“Don't expect to have an easy time from now on!”
“You won't be able to pass in front of me, no way!”
However, as soon as Sindis finished speaking.
Vice-captain Dunn rushed over.
He helped Long Fei withstand Sindis's physical pressure.
Allowing Long Fei to break free!
“Long Fei, I'll deal with this guy.”
“You just focus on getting the ball and passing!”
Dunn, as Blackburn's midfield iron gate.
Physical confrontation is his strength.
Right now, Long Fei's long passes.
Are the key to the team's attack.
Protecting Long Fei.
Is his most important task on the field.
This was also the basic requirement of head coach Mowbray.
For the entire team during the half-time break!
Therefore, seeing Long Fei being constantly disturbed by Sindis.
Dunn came over to assist Long Fei!
Dunn, as a veteran of the Championship.
Dealing with a player like Sindis who relies solely on physical strength.
It was naturally effortless!
Under Dunn's protection.
Long Fei quickly broke free from Sindis's interference.
He got another chance to get the ball!
Without the opponent's interference.
Long Fei, who had been quiet in the second half.
Once again had a breakthrough!
In the 61st minute of the second half.
Long Fei dribbled the ball in midfield.
Without any interference.
He once again sent out a long pass with an extremely large arc!
The ball flew accurately into Bolton's penalty area!
At this time, Rhodes had already rushed into the penalty area!
Rhodes faced the incoming ball.
He powerfully headed it into Bolton's goal!
3-0!
Blackburn was actually three goals ahead of their opponent!
Captain Rhodes completed a hat-trick.
And Long Fei also completed a hat-trick of assists!
“Oh oh oh oh! Amazing!”
“Wow! Another goal! Three goals ahead! We're actually three goals ahead?!”
“My God! I'm not dreaming, am I? This is really the Blackburn I know!”
“This season, we haven't had a game where we were three goals ahead, have we?!”
“Yeah! During the first half of the season, we were almost tortured to death by our lack of goals, it was rare to see us score two goals!”
“What kind of godly player is Long Fei?! He's completed another hat-trick of assists this game!”
“I'm going crazy! We've rented a midfield master from Manchester United?!”
“Two hat-tricks of assists in consecutive matches?! Is there a precedent for this in the history of the Championship?!”
“First time in the Championship! I just checked the information!”
“This Chinese guy named Long Fei is the first player in the 100-year history of the Championship.”
“To have completed a hat-trick of assists in two consecutive games!”
“It's simply amazing! It's like a dream!”
Captain Rhodes also excitedly rushed to Long Fei!
He had completed a hat-trick in this game!
This was also Rhodes' first hat-trick in his professional career!
His excitement needs no explanation!
Without Long Fei's brilliant three long-pass assists.
He didn't know when he would be able to achieve his first hat-trick in his professional career!
“Long Fei! That was a perfect assist!”
“You passed it so beautifully!”
Long Fei also nodded with a smile:
“Rhodes, your finish was also perfect!”
Before they finished speaking.
They were overwhelmed by their teammates one after another!
The teammates were also excited beyond control.
They directly piled them up on the grass.
Rhodes laughed and scolded:
“Hey! Stop it! You're crushing my hand!”
“I can't breathe! Long Fei is at the bottom!”
Hearing that Long Fei was at the bottom, not Rhodes.
Everyone quickly got up.
Vice-captain Dunn commanded from the side:
“Stop it! Why are you crushing Long Fei at the bottom, when you're supposed to be crushing the captain?!”
“It's okay if the captain gets crushed, but if Long Fei gets crushed, who's going to lead the team to victory?!”
Rhodes laughed angrily and kicked Dunn:
“You little bastard, you want to crush me to death.”
“You want to inherit the captaincy, right?!”
Everyone was laughing.
The team was three goals ahead.
This also made the team's morale.
Reach its peak!
Long Fei was substituted by the head coach in the 70th minute of the second half.
Mowbray also noticed.
Long Fei's physical strength had been depleted quite a bit.
But it didn't matter.
He helped the team take a three-goal lead over their opponent.
He completed a hat-trick of assists in consecutive games.
Long Fei's performance completely exceeded everyone's expectations!
