Chapter 167 Barcelona's Cottage Objects (21/155+12)
Chapter 167 The cottage object of Barcelona
In September, the wheat in the wheat fields has turned yellow, and Luton seems to have entered the harvest season. From September to now, they have been eliminated from the British Championships except for the first two days, and then in the first round of make-up. In addition to the tie with Trampier, in the remaining games, they maintained the momentum of winning streak.
The overall situation of the team is going up! Although the schedule is dense, Gao Bo has played a good role in the adjustment of the team's state. Since the victory over Exeter City on September 8, the team has won four consecutive victories on all fronts!
On September 26, the last game of September, Luton faced Norwich at home.
Gao Bo's goal in this game is of course to win, but because of the frequent events, he still made some positional rotations.
On the front line, Matt Schmidt got the chance to play in the league for the second time this season, and he was partnered with Griezmann in the front line, midfielder Drinkwater was rested, and he was replaced by Josef Ander. . The center back combination on the back line has become the partner of Jeffrey and George Parker, and Sol Campbell continues to rest. Jenkinson got his chance.
This is actually the reason why Gao Bo did not prepare a huge lineup. If someone in the team has no chance to play, then there must be some problems within the team. Last season, the huge gap between the main force and the substitute actually made Gao Bo play in many games. The employees are somewhat stretched.
One to zero! Luton's rotation also picked up valuable three points.
Although the score is not big in this game, the process is convincing. Luton, who are playing at home, dominated the situation from start to finish, and they finally won the opponent with a goal from Griezmann!
This ball best reflects Matt's aerial prowess. Kevin Keane's cross was passed into the penalty area. Matt headed the ball back to the front of the penalty area. Griezmann plugged in and then volleyed with his right foot. The football hit the bottom edge of the crossbar and bounced in. Net nest! This goal made the Wallace stand, who had been waiting for more than 70 minutes, completely boiled.
Although there was only one goal in this game,
But in fact Luton had 19 shots in the game, seven of which were on target. And the reason why there is only one goal in this game is because of Norwich's solid defense, and their excellent goalkeeper in this game...
Regardless of the process, however, the result was beautiful, with Griezmann's goal helping the team continue to hold on to the top two in the standings.
Charlton and Leeds have both won, so the team is still in third place. If the season ends with this ranking, Luton will play in the promotion play-offs. Gao Bo does not want to waste time in the play-offs. He hopes that the team can be promoted to the British Championship as the first division champion. Therefore, this ranking did not meet Gao Bo's expectations, but he is not in a hurry. After all, the league has just started, and after a little twist at the beginning of the season, the team seems to be on the right track.
....
On October 1, the team ushered in another home game, but this time it was the group stage of the Europa League.
The team will play Basel at home!
Currently in Group E where Luton is located, Basel was upset at home in the first round. They defeated Roma led by Ranieri, so Gao Bo did not dare to neglect the Basel team.
"Basel is an excellent team. They are very good at ground coordination. It will be difficult to play against them, but we hope that the game can be played well!" At the pre-match press conference, Gao Bo looked at Basel. very important.
Roma is not a weak team. Gao Bo is very clear about this, and Gao Bo never dared to underestimate Ranieri. Being able to beat Roma shows that Basel's strength is not bad.
Compared to Gao Bo's cautiousness, Basel's manager Torsten Fink appeared a little frivolous in his pre-match press conference against Luton: "Beating Roma puts us in a very good position, but I think this group will be a competition between Basel and Roma, to win the group first, you have to score enough points against Luton and Sofia Central 6 teams."
This is Torsten Fink's real thought. He actually attaches great importance to Luton's team, because he thinks that Luton has the ability to win by surprise, so before the start of the game, Torsten Funk Ke said to his disciples with a very dignified face: "We must pay great attention to this game. If we want to win the first stage of the group, the game against Luton at home and away will be the key. Sofia Central The 6th Army does not have the strength to threaten us and Roma, and although Luton is in the third tier of England, they won the FA Cup last season, which shows that this team has considerable strength. We You can't take it lightly!"
Torsten Fink looked solemn: "So, we need to score goals as soon as possible. As long as we are ahead, Luton basically has nothing to do. The time of the first goal is very important! If we can't be late. Score a goal, then I'll worry about our backline. Luton's counter-attack is very strong!"
German Torsten Fink said.
On the other side, Gao Bo is also doing the final pre-match mobilization.
"This is a team that defeated Roma!" Gao Bo said from the center of the locker room. As soon as he said these words, the players' faces became solemn.
Basel are not well known, but they beat Serie A side Roma 2-0 at home just two weeks ago!
"Everyone knows how we will finish the game, we have our tactics, we also have our style. We have been strengthening these things many times in training, so I won't talk about tactics." Gao Bo raised his finger "I'll just say one thing, Basel is a team that pursues ground control, we can't let them get into their own game rhythm, they like to control the ball in the midfield, then we will fight them in the midfield. Tangle!! Sever the connection between their midfielders, keep the ball out of their way, and chop the game up!!!"
"Be careful with set-pieces and try not to give them free-kicks near the box line!! Basel has a few free-kick masters, like their No. 30 Kalitos, N'Golo, who fouled Control the location and start as far away from the penalty area as possible!" Gao Bo turned to Kante and said.
Kanter nodded in understanding.
"Of course, they may not be able to pass the midfield so easily. In this game, we still start to press from the frontcourt, and strive to complete the steal in the midfield and frontcourt!!" Gao Bo raised his right hand.
"Then after stealing the ball...." Gao Bo suddenly put down his raised hand, "Counterattack!! Destroy them!!!"
"Our opponents are already waiting for us!! Get out now!! Kill them!!!"
Gao Bo opened the door of the locker room, and the players walked out confidently.
The players of the two sides met in the player tunnel, but there was no acquaintance between the players of the two teams. The players lined up in two rows, waiting and playing.
There was a drizzle in the sky outside, and when the cheers of the fans in the stands suddenly rose, players from both teams had lined up to the pitch.
Gao Bo stood next to the coach's bench, looking at the backs of the Basel players.
If you just look at the back, Gao Bo thought he was playing with Barcelona...
Basel's home jersey is also the same red and blue striped shirt as Barcelona, and it is no coincidence that both teams have such color jerseys.
(Barcelona Football Club) and fcbase1 (Basel Football Club), the abbreviations of the two clubs are fcb——On November 12, 1893, Basel Football Club officially announced its establishment, six years later, Gamble, this club The owner of the club and the captain of the football team came to Barcelona and established FC Barcelona here, becoming the founder of Barcelona's century-old glory. Gamble and Basel have a profound influence on Barcelona. When choosing a jersey for the new club, Gamble chose the same red and blue as Basel as the main color, so Basel was in German, Barcelona in Catalonia and Barcelona. There is the same title in Spanish: "red and blue".
And to a certain extent... the red and blue striped shirts are still copied by Barcelona from Basel...
Gao Bo squinted and glanced at Basel head coach Torsten Fink on the other side.
It's a pity that you are not the real Barcelona...
The German regarded Luton as their target for scoring points before the game, which made Gao Bo feel relieved.... The more Basel looked down on Luton, the more likely Luton would score three points at home! For Gao Bo, Basel is also his target. In terms of strength of this group, Ranieri's Roma is of course the strongest on paper, so Gao Bo has already determined to take Basel first before the start of the game. Take all three points to put the team in a favorable form in the standings as soon as possible.
Even if Basel does not have underestimated enemies, they will not necessarily win Lower Luton! Gao Bo has absolute confidence in his team.
The drizzle fell, and the players in Basel felt cool. The weather in September has turned colder, and the rain is always chilling. Compared with Switzerland, the weather in England at this time makes the players in Basel. Feeling a little uncomfortable.
The race is off... Torsten Fink frowned too, the rain hasn't stopped in the sky since he got here.
Compared with their opponents, Luton's players did not feel the slightest, they have long been used to such a climate.
The players of both sides stood in their positions according to their respective formations, and the captains of both sides completed a series of ceremonies such as picking sides. The referee blew his whistle and the game officially started! ...
