Chapter 166 The Most Powerful Newly-Promoted Horse in the First Division (20/155+12)

Chapter 166 The most powerful newly-promoted horse in the First Division

Twenty minutes have passed since the start of the game, but the score was still zero to zero.

Before the game, Gao Bo had already anticipated the way Leeds United would play. They were no longer the passionate youth guards back then. Under the leadership of Simon Grayson, Leeds United became a ball that relied on defensive counterattacks. team.

Their bus is very solid, a 442 formation, the three lines are very close, so that Luton has a feeling of being unable to speak. Luton, who is playing at home, is not very good at attacking the Tietongzhen. Now that he has encountered Simon Grayson, an old bus driver, it is even more difficult to penetrate the penalty area.

Luton's attack ended with Griezmann's long-range shot from the periphery, but the players did not retreat, but stood directly in front of the 30-meter area in front of Leeds United, making a suffocating shot. Front court pressing.

Leeds United also did not intend to control the ball in the backcourt. They were very straightforward and kicked in front with a big foot, allowing striker Beckford to fight for the header.

In this game, Sol Campbell was rested, and George Parker was the starting substitute for him. Parker faced Beckford with some difficulty, but although Beckford scored a goal, Kanter controlled the second point.

Simon Grayson looked very regretful. He clapped vigorously on the sidelines, and Gao Bo couldn't help but glance at him.

Isn't it just such a ball, what a pity.

Gao Bo pouted, but he looked familiar to this Simon Grayson. In fact, when he heard the name, he was a little familiar, and with this sudden glance, Gao Bo finally remembered why he would treat this Simon Grayson. Familiar.

Isn't this the future Huddersfield manager...

Gao Bo thought of the first three games of the Premier League in the 2017-2018 season. Simon Grayson's Huddersfield performed impressively. Their defense was quite solid and they didn't concede a goal in three consecutive league rounds. Watch their game footage.

It's no wonder, this Simon Grayson is now keen to put the bus.

Is this guy a Mourinho fan? What a utilitarian guy.

Gao Bo thought.

In fact, in England, Gao Bo is regarded as the representative of utilitarian football...

The game in the first half was almost a half-time attack and defense drill for Luton, and Leeds United also had sporadic counterattack opportunities, but in general the first half of the game was really difficult to talk about.

In such a situation, the two sides naturally did not score.

With the three whistle of the referee, the first half of the game ended, and the players from both sides entered the player tunnel with expressionless faces.

Fifteen minutes later, the two sides will again appear on the court to decide the outcome.

......

"We have to pay special attention to these two in the second half!"

On the tactical board, Gao Bo circled Leeds United's No. 9 and No. 10.

No. 9 striker Beckford and No. 10 Becchio.

In the first half of the game, although Leeds United did not have many opportunities to counterattack, the threat of these two players was still discovered by Gao Bo.

If a little careless, these two players are likely to create unexpected threats.

Beckford is very fast, this player comes from Chelsea's academy, is a Jamaican - Jamaicans are not necessarily sprinters, but Jamaicans on the field must not be slow, like in To Europeans, Chinese people are all table tennis masters, but in fact, these are stereotypes, just like in Luton, the first table tennis player is not Gao Bo who can't play table tennis at all, but the ball The team doctor Sakuragi Haruko is the same.

And Becchio's background is also very big, this Argentine comes from Barcelona....B team!

Although it is a B team, this does not mean that Becchio is weak. In fact, he left because the competition of the Barcelona first team is too strong. The midfielder from Barcelona has quite a skill at his feet. Excellent, the timing and technique of passing the ball is also quite good.

These two pass and run, and they complement each other in the striker line. Leeds United can achieve the current results this season, which is inseparable from the performance of these two people.

"N'Golo, pay more attention to Becchio's position in the second half, don't let him pass the ball comfortably!" Gao Bo assigned Kante a new task.

"In the second half, they must continue to put on the bus. Our passing in the frontcourt should be more flexible and the speed should be increased to disrupt their defensive rhythm and shoot as soon as there is a chance!!!" Gao Bo said.

"If they want to defend and counterattack, they have to see if they can defend!"

...

Gao Bo did not make substitutions in the second half because he did not think that substitutions would have much impact on the situation on the field. Instead, he asks the team to speed up the passing after the ball has been picked up in the frontcourt.

The fast passing and cutting coordination in the 30-meter area in the frontcourt is the focus of the team's training these days, but for the players, if they want to speed up the passing speed, mistakes will inevitably occur.

In the fifty-eighth minute of the game, Luton made a continuous pass after stealing the ball in the frontcourt. Finally, Adam's cross was broken, and Leeds United immediately launched a quick counterattack.

Becchio stopped the ball in his chest, but as soon as the ball hit the ground, Kante stretched out a kick and stabbed the ball away.

Becchio didn't have time to be annoyed, he immediately counterattacked, but Kante had already passed the ball.

Leeds United just prepared to press the formation for a while, but the football was immediately snatched back by Luton.

Drinkwater threw a through ball to the front of the penalty area, Griezmann turned his back and missed the ball, and Vardy volleyed after turning around in the penalty area! ! !

Soccer Cup goalkeeper throws out.

The Leeds United players were taken aback, as was Simon Grayson on the sidelines.

Luton's ability to capture this moment of attack and defense transition is too strong! Leeds United just wanted to counterattack, but Luton took advantage of the time difference immediately after stealing the ball and caught Leeds United by surprise.

...

On the field, Luton's passing in the frontcourt also made frequent mistakes, but Gao Bo didn't care.

This is what he expected. Luton took the initiative to speed up the game and let Leeds United fall into this fast-paced trap.

Because once Luton passes the ball wrong, Leeds United must want to counterattack. But for Gao Bo, the biggest effect of putting a Kante on the court is that Kante can guarantee to get the ball back as soon as possible!

In this way, the two sides come and go, and the rhythm is accelerated a lot without knowing it.

By the 60th minute of the game, Simon Grayson was already feeling bad. Although Luton's attack did not seem to be too threatening, Leeds United's defense was changed because of this frequent exchange of balls. Got a little confused.

Need to adjust now?

Simon Grayson was hesitant, and at the same time a bit of a fluke himself.

Perhaps in such a chaotic rhythm, Leeds United can also get a chance to fight back?

The power of the combination of Becchio and Beckford's counterattack striker is quite large! !

Simon Grayson stayed put, and the rhythm on the court had a tendency to slide out of control.

In the 65th minute of the game, Leeds United succeeded in a counterattack, and this time Becchio shoved the ball to Beckford before Kante arrived.

Beckford was quick to finish before the two Luton centre-backs, but his shot was snatched into Schmeichel's arms and didn't pose much of a threat.

However, this is a good signal for Simon Grayson, which shows that in such a situation, Leeds United have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Like Gao Bo, Simon Grayson has absolute confidence in his players.

But just as Leeds United rejoiced for their attack this time, Schmeichel threw the ball and launched the attack!

Leeds United has just finished a round of counterattacks, and they haven't caught their breath yet, and Luton's attack is coming again!

"The transition between offense and defense is the easiest time to create goals!"

Gao Bo said this sentence is based on statistics, and it is often easy to score goals by seizing the opportunity when the opponent's defense line is chaotic.

It's the same this time.

When Griezmann picked the ball into the penalty area, then Vardy headed the ball horizontally, and when Adam White appeared on the camera, the fans of Leeds United knew that they were going to concede the ball.

Adam White hit the ball into the empty goal with his chest!

The goal completely ignited the atmosphere at Worth Stadium, with Luton fans bouncing around in the stands.

Leeds United defended most of the time, but their goal was lost.

Gao Bo was relieved after seeing the goal. For a team that relies on counter-attacks, if they want to concede the ball first, the game becomes very difficult.

This is also true for Leeds United, Luton did not press too much after scoring, but recovered to the midfield, waiting for Leeds to attack.

Simon Grayson had no choice. He switched to attackers one after another in an attempt to make a final move on the road.

The result is that Luton let Leeds United also see their counter-attack power.

In the 81st minute of the game, Drinkwater received a long pass from Kante and hit him with a long pass. Leeds United, who needed to press on the attack, was behind an open prairie. Vardy got the ball after being offside successfully. , and then calmly pushed the dead corner in the face of the goalkeeper and scored the second goal!

Two to zero! !

At this stage of the game, Leeds United is completely powerless.

The Leeds United players launched a Jedi counterattack in the final stages, trying to score a face-saving goal, but they failed to do so.

When the three minutes of stoppage time passed, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Gao Bo sat up from the coach's bench, tidied up his collar, and then walked to Simon Grayson. After the victory, Gao Bo seemed very gentlemanly, while Simon, who lost after the game, looked helpless and peaceful. Frustrated.

After this game, Leeds United's unbeaten streak was broken, and now the only unbeaten players in the league are Charlton and Luton.

However, the form of the standings remains unchanged. Even if they win against Leeds United, Luton only scored 18 points, which is still one point away from Leeds United's 19 points.

"They are one of the strongest teams in the First Division. To a certain extent, Luton is the most powerful newly promoted team in the First Division in the last dozen or so seasons." Simon Grayson said after the game.
