Chapter 172 Noisy Neighbors: Milton Keynes

A stone was thrown into the calm water, the rippling waves hit the shore, and then slowly returned to calm.

Life goes on, day by day.

In addition to being a little turbulent when they meet on weekdays, Gao Bo's work is still the same at other times.

On October 10, the eleventh round of the league was another away game. Luton will take on the Seagulls away to Brighton.

Brighton have been in poor form in the past few rounds of the league. They have suffered a four-game losing streak away from home before this, but at the Wesdan Stadium, Brighton have played six games so far and have not lost a game - they Their home results are three wins and three draws, and they have scored 12 points in six games. This home result can rank at the forefront of the League One standings, but their poor away results are obviously dragging them down.

And Brighton, who are playing at home, are really fierce. At the end of the first half, they entered the locker room with a score of 1-0. Brighton used a set-piece in the frontcourt to put the ball Sent into Luton's goal, and then they held on to Luton's onslaught to the cheers of the home fans and successfully maintained their lead into the second half.

In fact, in the second half, Brighton's defense was still doing well, and it was not until the 78th minute of the game that Luton finally scored.

Kevin Keane's long shot from the right side of the penalty area finally pierced Brighton's goal.

After the equalizer, Luton pressed harder, hoping to score again at the last minute and complete the counter-attack.

And Brighton is united, the unbeaten record at home gives Brighton players confidence, their defense is flawless.

However, Brighton's home unbeaten trophy was broken in the end. In the 92nd minute of the game, there were only two minutes left before the end of the game.

Kante dribbled the ball up after stealing the ball in the frontcourt.

Brighton's defenders take very good care of Luton's attacking players, they know that Kante is a defender and he has to give the ball to Luton's attacking players even after stealing the ball.

The result was such an oversight, leaving Kanter unmarked.

And Kante simply kicked himself outside the penalty area. The football just passed through the dense crowd in the penalty area and got into the net from the dead corner!

Kanter completes the lore! ! !

Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines, the Wesdan Stadium is indeed a difficult road to conquer, and Luton achieved a difficult victory in this stadium.

At the same time, good news came from another arena that made Luton happy.

Charlton and Leeds United played in a 0-0 draw in this round of the league!

In this way, after Luton scored three points, he has already defeated Leeds United by one point and ranked second in the standings. At present, Luton's result is three draws and eight wins and 27 points, two behind Charlton. points, one point ahead of Leeds United and second in the league.

In the next league, as long as the opponent still has a slight slip, then Luton will be on the list!

This gave the players great encouragement!

On April 14, in the twelfth round of the league, Luton faced their old rivals from last season at home, and together they were promoted to England's Wycombe Wanderers.

In the face of this team, Luton's self-confidence appears to be more sufficient, and Luton appears to be very patient in the face of the opponent's iron barrel formation. Finally in the first half of the game, Drinkwater's long shot helped the team penetrate the opponent's city.

After taking the lead, Luton's game was even better. Wycombe Rovers conceded the ball one after another in the second half. Griezmann scored directly through a free kick to help the team expand the score, and then Vardy scored a single-handed goal against offside to seal the victory.

And Wycombe Rovers scored a face-saving goal through a counterattack a minute before the end of the game.

After this game, Luton fans turned their attention to Charlton. For Luton fans, it is also a very happy thing to be able to win the League A championship.

However, Charlton's performance is very stable, they did not give up the list position.

Gao Bo did not pay attention to the situation of the two opponents in the league. After all, the league schedule is not over halfway, so it is meaningless to look at the standings now.

On October 17, Luton traveled again, this time against Milton Keynes.

Speaking of which, Wimbledon and Luton, the predecessors of Milton Keynes, have no grudges, but since Wimbledon moved to the current Milton Keynes, the two teams with similar distances have gradually become mortal enemies in the same region.

Gao Bo has little image of Milton Keynes, in fact, even Wimbledon he did not have much influence - his image of that place is mostly from tennis events.

However, before going to Milton Keynes, John gave Gaoboko the past and present of Milton Keynes.

Wimbledon is known as "The Mad Gang", but its other nickname is "the dons". After the Taylor report in 1991, top-flight teams needed full-seat pitches, and Wimbledon in south-west London could only share the pitch with another London team, Crystal Palace: a temporary move that lasted 12 years . By 2oo3, Wimbledon finally decided to move 9okm north and relocate to Milton Keynes, as there were no significant teams in the area and it was an important market to fill. This caused a public outcry in the British fan circle, because Wimbledon is also a famous team after all, many fans are reluctant to leave London, and they are also dissatisfied that Wimbledon rejected some venue options provided by the local council.

In this case, the original Wimbledon fans formed their own team called "afc Wimbledon" just like the Manchester United fans formed after Glazer's acquisition. As Wimbledon's original league seat was inherited by Milton Keynes, afc Wimbledon started from the 9th league.

The Milton Keynes team started out as Russia inherited the status of the former Soviet Union, claiming to inherit all the history of Wimbledon since its establishment in 1889, but this was also fiercely opposed by the original Wimbledon diehards. In the end, Milton Keynes and the fan association reached a compromise: Milton Keynes gave up his claim and set his team's construction date at 2oo4; that is to say, the official age of the Milton Keynes team that defeated Manchester United was only a little over five years old.

"You mean, Wimbledon moved to Milton Keynes and then changed its name?" Gao Bo was a little confused.

In fact, he is not interested in the history of Milton Keynes. The information he has now is all the current information of Milton Keynes. This season, Milton Keynes has achieved good results. Under the leadership of the young coach Ince, they have won seven wins, two draws and three losses after 12 rounds of the First Division, and ranked fifth in the league with 23 points.

"That's right." John obviously didn't like this team very much. Luton fans have been very disgusted by this team since this noisy neighbor moved to Milton Keynes.

Although it has only been less than six years since the team moved next door to Luton, Milton Keynes has been promoted to the second most hated team in Luton fans in these six years.

In fact, in the eyes of Milton Keynes fans, Luton also hates each other.

Two geographically similar teams soon became sworn enemies. …

In football circles, good relations between neighbors are rare. ...
