Chapter 117： There can be no unexpected finals

Chapter 117, there can be no unexpected finals

Luton’s last league game this season was played in a heavy rain.

On May 10th, Luton challenged Brentford away.

Despite having locked the league championship, Gao Bo still sent most of the main players, because this game is still ten days before the FA Cup final, Gao Bo needs to keep the main players in the game.

For players, ten days without a game is a long enough time.

The first half of the game was uneventful, and this game meant nothing to both sides.

Luton has locked up the league championship, the victory or defeat of this game will not affect their ranking in the league.

The same is true for Brentford. They are now five points behind the second Wellcombe Rangers and four points ahead of fourth place Exeter City. They also locked in third place in the league a round ahead of time and won. A place for direct promotion to League One.

It was not until the 38th minute of the game that Charlie Austin scored a goal to help Luton lead Brentford 1-0.

In the second half, Gao Bo began to make substitution adjustments.

He replaced the two players on the left of Luton, Lewis Emmanuel and Solo Davis were replaced, replaced by Adam White and Assan Harry!

No one realized the significance of this substitution. Even the scouts sent by Benitez in the stands were just for Luton to give more young players a chance to play in the second half.

But Gao Bo didn't think that way. He is now preparing for the FA Cup final.

Benitez is known as the master of tactics. He studied his opponents carefully before the game and often made targeted arrangements in tactics.

Benitez was like this in Valencia, he can put ten sets of starters in ten games.

To deal with such a scheming Spanish coach, Gao Bo also decided to make a change in the starting line. After all, Luton is on the weak side. If you follow the previous method to deal with Liverpool, it is estimated that Benitez has already made one The trap is waiting for himself.

He decided to start Adam in the final!

Although Adam’s physical stamina cannot support the entire game, it’s okay to let him play for 50 or 60 minutes!

But since Adam is on the field, a player with strong defensive ability needs to be arranged on the left back.

Hassan Ali is a flag that Gao Bo likes very much to use. Let such a defensive player who originally played as a midfielder play as a left back? Gao Bo believes that Hassan Ali is capable of this position. First of all, Hassan's physical ability can support him to run up and down, and his defensive ability is also online.

If you don’t consider his sense of position, letting Hasan Ali guard the left wing is definitely a reassuring option. But Gao Bo was not ready to let Hassan participate in assists, so he would just defend the area to his left.

Hassan also had no objection to Gao Bo's arrangement. For Hassan, no matter which position he plays, he just needs to be able to play.

"Don't be too involved in the offense, you go up and try to play the left back first!!" Gao Bo said in Hassan's ear.

Dark-skinned and lean Hassan nodded frequently: "Don't worry, boss. I used to play as a defender in the youth academy."

Gao Bo patted Hassan on the shoulder: "Liverpool's offensive players are different from Brentford. You should adapt first, and I will strengthen your training at left-back in the next ten days of training!!"

Gao Bo remembered that he still has a card that strengthens basic technical training. Maybe it can be used on Hassan?

The two were quickly replaced, and Luton's formation changed to 433.

This is Kobo's formation to deal with Liverpool, but most people don't know this at this time. The three players in the midfield are Drinkwater, Kanter, and Kevin Keane. The three players are in the inverted triangle position. Kanter is dragged at the end. Drinkwater and Kevin Keane are on both sides. The famous midfielders have considerable defensive ability, especially Kanter, the coverage in the midfield is very large, coupled with the increase in cards, the coverage of the three midfielders in the midfield is already very sufficient.

The key is on the offensive end!

Three offensive players Adam, Vardy, and Charlie Austin! The running ability and speed of the three players are not weak. Whether on the offensive end or on the counterattack, the trident of the frontcourt can play a considerable role!

After completing the substitution, Luton is still adjusting to their new formation, and Brentford doesn't have much spirit to fight back.

The game ended with zero to one. Luton won away and won the second division championship this season!

The second division trophy was brought back by Luton from away, but the team did not celebrate.

"Wait until we win the FA Cup, we will celebrate the success of this season together!" Gao Bo announced to the players on the bus.

Luton also announced the postponement of the celebration to the fans.

"The team is preparing for the FA Cup final!"

This is Luton’s official rhetoric.

After the league ended, Luton's training base was immediately closed, and the team immediately entered closed training. No media can detect Luton's training situation.

"Closed training?"

Benitez frowned when he heard the news. He knew that Gao Bo must have some new tricks to deal with Liverpool, but now Benitez can't figure out what medicine is in Gao Bo Calabash.

"Are they setting smoke bombs? What else can they do besides defensive counterattack?" Benitez's assistant, bald Ayestaran, said from the side.

"Don't worry about them, we still have a league mission to play!"

Although the hope of winning the league is slim, Liverpool will not give up if there is still hope.

Once Manchester United loses to Arsenal, Liverpool will have a chance to tie the score with Manchester United in the final round. If the time comes, Liverpool will not necessarily lose.

Liverpool’s offensive ability is indeed very good. Torres is at his peak this season. Before the injury, Torres was one of the most powerful centers in the world. His offensive power made many teams afraid.

Gao Bo knew this too, but he also studied Liverpool’s weaknesses-their defense didn't look solid.

This season Liverpool often scored big scores-either big wins or big draws.

The typical battle occurred in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final. Liverpool fought against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The score of the two sides in a single game was four to four-the neutral fans who watched the football were Very cool, but Liverpool was eliminated.

In addition to this game, in the next home game against Arsenal in the league, Liverpool scored a four to four score...

The offensive firepower is so strong and on the defensive side, Liverpool have scored a lot.

Carragher is still Liverpool’s main central defender this season, but the age of the England veteran has fallen very seriously. Skrtel is still at the peak, but the goalkeeper who has fallen seriously on the goal line. Reina is an important factor in Liverpool conceding more goals...

Benitez didn't take the news of Luton's closed training too much to heart. The battle is about to come, and it is normal for the opponent to play tricks to confuse his own judgment.

Benitez still has a glimmer of hope for the league.

It’s just that Manchester United’s game was a few hours earlier than Liverpool’s. When Manchester United’s game ended, Benitez knew that Liverpool had no hope of winning-Manchester United played a zero-to-zero match with Arsenal at home. As a result, even if Liverpool win this round of the league, they are still four points behind Manchester United. With only the last round left in the league, Manchester United has already secured the Premier League title one round ahead of schedule.

Although Liverpool won West Bromwich Albion in this round of the league, Liverpool were not very happy.

Benitez also turned and left the court soon after the game. He didn't see the excitement that he should have in winning.

Until he returned to Liverpool, Benitez calmed down.

Now before him, there is only one FA Cup left!

FA Cup final! ! This is absolutely no surprise game! !

Benitez took a deep breath and announced to the Liverpool players that the training will be officially closed tomorrow.

There are only three days left before the start of the FA Cup! There is not much time to prepare for Liverpool.
