Chapter 114： Top of the list

The 114th chapter topped the list

Knowing the opponent in the finals, Gao Bo felt relieved.

How to deal with Liverpool? Gao Bo doesn't have time to think about this now, because the one that immediately follows is the most critical game in the league.

On April 23, the 43rd round of the second division, Luton will face the Wellcome Rangers at home!

Luton fans and players are quite confident in this game, even Gao Bo is confident.

But the result of the first half of this game made Gao Bo's face black.

At the last moment of the first half, the Wellcome Rangers broke Claude's goal with a direct free kick. They led Luton away by one to zero!

Such a result made the players of the Waycombe Rangers ecstatic. Wellcombe’s head coach Peter Taylor even rushed into the court to celebrate and was shown a yellow card...

During the intermission, Gao Bo had a gloomy face: "Do you think we won the league championship?"

"We don't get anything now!!! If you play casually like the first half, the league champion?! The league champion will slip away from you!!!"

Gao Bo almost slapped the table and shouted.

The ease on the faces of the players is gone. Although Wellcome is the top team in the second division, the Luton players don’t take them seriously-after all, the Premier League teams have beaten them several times. Supported, let alone the British championship, so when playing against their opponents in the second division, they seem to be a little unable to lift their energy.

After being sprayed by Gao Bo's halftime, the players also realized that if this game is lost, the league champion in hand may really fly away...

When the players walked out of the locker room with a serious expression, John leaned in and said: "Recently, the schedule is too intensive. The players' physical fitness may be in some condition."

Gao Bo nodded: "I know this, John, but even if you are a little tired, you shouldn't show such an attitude when facing Wellcome. We can't lose a game in the next league!"

John also nodded. Even after winning the Waycombe Rangers, Luton was only one point ahead of the opponent, and it was not time to relax.

"Fortunately, the FA Cup game will be held on May 20, when we have ten days to prepare."

Gao Bo nodded. If Luton has any advantage in the FA Cup final, that is, the last round of the second division was on May 10, and the Premier League game was still in full swing, and Liverpool had to do it for them. Fighting for the league championship, so compared to Luton, which can rest for ten days, Liverpool has much less rest time than Luton-three days before the FA Cup match on May 20, Liverpool still To challenge West Bromwich Albion in the away game, it was the 37th round of the Premier League. If Liverpool still retains the hope of winning the league by then, they will definitely go all out in this game.

Compared to Luton, the denser the Liverpool schedule, the more tired their players are. This is undoubtedly a good thing for Luton.

But for the next ten days, Gao Bo does not intend to focus on preparing for the match against Liverpool. The champion of the second division Gao Bo is very important. This champion will never be allowed to fall behind!

So in the next period of time, Gao Bo asked the whole team to temporarily forget about the FA Cup and first make every effort to deal with the next game of the second division!

Just at the beginning of the second half, Luton launched a crazy attack on the Waycombe Rangers!

Waycombe Rangers They are also ready for away defense. In fact, their head coach Peter Taylor made a big adjustment to Wellcombe's formation in this game.

Five defenders, four defensive midfielders, and only a fast forward is placed in front!

This is a complete defensive counterattack, completely giving up the center and front field, placing two close directions in the penalty area, and letting Luton continue to besiege from the outside.

Under such intensive defense, Luton is actually not good at attacking this kind of positional warfare.

Is there any way to win a positional battle?

Long shots may be a way, but in addition to stepping up long shots to the team, Gao Bo is also preparing to let Adam play and increase the dribbling breakthrough to create a threat.

In the 60th minute of the game, Kobo replaced Adam and Lewis. The team's formation changed to 433. Kevin Keane shrank to the center and formed a double midfield with Drinkwater and Kanter. Adam pushed to the front line and formed a three forward with Vardy and Charlie Austin.

Adam's appearance greatly disrupted the Wellcombe Rangers' defensive formation. Facing Adam's dribbling breakthrough on the wing, they had to frequently move the formation to the left.

But the real ultimate move is not on Adam's side.

In the 69th minute of the game, when the Wicombe Rangers' formation moved closer to Adam's offensive side, Drinkwater shifted the ball laterally from the left to the right.

Kevin Keane takes a kick in an unguarded situation!

The football passed through the dense crowd in the penalty area, hit the bottom edge of the crossbar and bounced into the net!

One to one! ! Luton evened the score!

This score obviously did not satisfy Luton, and they continued to press the offense in the next time.

Waycombe-Wanderers fans are a little nervous. As Luton's offensive continues to strengthen, their defenses have begun to appear frequently in danger.

In the 76th minute of the game, Charlie Austin shot a toe after receiving a pass in the penalty area. The football hit the post and went out of the baseline, almost helping the team equalize the score.

The ball shocked the fans of the Waycombe Rangers, but just when they were lucky, Luton's offense came again.

Adam made a fake move on the left, swaying the defender and dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and passed the ball into the penalty area close to the baseline.

Vardy's header made the goalkeeper save, but then Charlie Austin's supplementary shot left the opponent with nothing.

After the goal, Charlie Austin was very excited His goal helped the team overtake the score.

If the victory is maintained until the end of the game, Luton can overtake the Wellcome Rangers to the top of the standings!

From the beginning of the season with a negative 30 points, to the present standing helper team!

Luton can be said to have set a jaw-dropping record, because it means that if they had not deducted points, they are now 30 points ahead of second place! !

What a terrifying difference! Luton's performance is enough to show that they are definitely not a team of the level of the second division.

"They have at least reached the strength of a Premier League mid-range team!!" Letkinson said when it was broadcast on TV.

Different people have different interpretations to the extent of Luton's strength, and the miracle that this team has created this season is destined to become a topic that people talk about.

When Luton overtook the score, Wellcombe Wanderers had nothing to do.

They wanted to counterattack in the final stage of the game, but they were trapped by their own strength, and instead let Luton score another goal through counterattack.

When Adam White dribbled past the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the empty goal, the Wossi Stadium fell into a carnival!

The fans jumped in the stands, making the whole stadium in the whole building.

Gao Bo is applauding and applauding the performance of the players. They are also worried that this old stadium will collapse because the fans are too crazy...

Gao Bo’s worries were unnecessary. Until the end of the game, the stands were still intact, but the atmosphere of the stadium reached its peak at this moment!

Luton defeated the Wellcome Rangers, they now overtake their opponents and reach the top of the standings!
