Chapter 247 Haruko's Worries (One Hundred Seven/One Hundred Seventy-Two) Part 1

Chapter 247 Haruko's worries

On March 19, in the second round of the 2009-2010 Europa League round of 16, Luton played against Juventus at home.

The weather was fine that day, the sun peeking out of the clouds, but then it fell back into the mountains to the west.

When the sun was about to touch the mountain, there was already a bustling crowd in front of Worth Field.

Luton fans poured in from all directions and quickly filled the small stadium.

When the stadium lights were turned on, the players from both sides had come to the stadium to warm up amidst the cheers of the fans.

........

Gao Bo has already got Juventus' starting list.

Compared to the first leg, Juventus' starting lineup has not changed much.

The forward line is still Piero with Amauri, Diego behind him, and then the three midfielders Marchisio, Sissoko, and Melo.

On the back line, it was Grigella who took the place of Chiellini!

Grigera is a Czech defender who can play as a central defender, right-back and sometimes as a midfielder. In the case of Chiellini's red card suspension, Ferrara chose the 185 cm tall Grigella to partner with Cannavaro, who is not tall enough, also out of consideration for air defense.

Grosso is still left back, right back Caceres, goalkeeper is naturally Buffon!

Gao Bo pouted when he saw this starter.

Ferrara is still so cautious, even if she is going to attack, she is not willing to send a striker...

.....

Ferrara is also looking at Luton's start.

There's nothing to see from Luton's starting roster because Luton's roster is exactly the same as in the previous game.

With this lineup out, Ferrara can't tell whether Luton is going to be the main offense or the main defender.

Because it seems that Luton's lineup is quite balanced in attack and defense.

Adam's position is alive,

He was a midfielder when he came back, and then Griezmann would play as a shadow striker, and Luton was good at 442.

And if Adam goes up and Griezmann pulls the side, Luton can instantly become a 433.

Luton's tactical changes in a game are still very rich.

However, Ferrara is still convinced that Gao Bo will definitely defend and counterattack in this game, just like they faced Ajax at home!

For Juventus, the momentum they have to do is to score first and then come back to play defensive counterattacks!

Ferrara now sees Luton as a Serie A rival!

.....

The players warmed up back to the locker room!

Ferrara waited until the last Juventus player entered the visiting team's locker room before speaking.

"I believe everyone knows the importance of this game! If we want to get something this season, this is the only field left!"

"You all know the opponent's strength in the first round, they are definitely not any ordinary third-level team!" Ferrara's expression was very solemn, "I emphasize again! Absolutely absolutely must not underestimate the enemy!!"

Ferrara said three absolutes, and the Juventus players did not disapprove as they did in the first round. After the first round, they knew that Luton was not as weak as they thought, and it could even be said that Luton's strength makes Juventus players still very shocked.

"Especially pay attention to their counterattacks!"

"In this game, they will adopt the tactics of defensive counterattack! We have already experienced the threat of their counterattack in the first round! There must be no low-level mistakes in the frontcourt offense, and give the opponent a chance to counterattack!"

While Ferrara was talking, the Juventus players also listened carefully.

Ferrara took a close look at Luton's Europa League game, and this team is definitely a very three-game counter-attack team. Luton's defensive organization was amazing to Ferrara, and their counter-attack speed was astounding.

Vardy, Griezmann, Adam are all fast players, especially Griezmann. This player's ability in the frontcourt is too dazzling. Ferrara is almost certain that Griezmann will be next season. It is definitely the object of the pursuit of major giants!

At this time in Luton's locker room, Gao Bo is also doing the final mobilization.

"Pressing in the frontcourt! This is what we have always done, and everyone is no stranger to it!!" Gao Bo turned the tactical board over, "It's just that in this game, we need to do more crazy!"

"As soon as the game started, we pressed on and pressed their ball-handlers, and didn't let them pass the ball out of the back!!"

"Don't be stingy with physical fitness! From the frontcourt, all of them are devoted to pressing!!"

"Whoever of them has the ball in the backcourt, don't let him take it easy!"

"As soon as you grab the ball, hand it over to Adam, Vardy, and Griezmann in the frontcourt! Let them finish the offense!!"

"This game! We destroy them with our offense!"

Gao Bo waved his hand, as if Juventus had been sacked!

Gao Bo's pre-match mobilization ended quickly. When the players walked out of the locker room with their heads held high, Haruko did not go out with the members of the coaching staff.

"Gao Bo-kun..."

Haruko stopped Gao Bo!

"Is something wrong, Haruko?"

Gao Bo was also about to go out, he turned his head to look at Haruko.

Haruko doesn't look as shy now as usual: "I have observed our training these days, and I must say that, medically speaking, with our tactical deployment, the players need to pay too much movement, According to my estimation, their physical fitness can only last until the 60th minute of the second half at most!"

Gao Bo nodded. He was not offended by Haruko's questioning of his tactics. Haruko has a master's in sports medicine, and her opinion was based on her major.

But Haruko didn't know there were such unscientific things as cards...

"Haruko, do you believe that people's spiritual power can affect their own physical state?"

"I know that this is also a very big research subject in kinematics, but after all, the human body's physical capacity is limited, even if the players forcibly cheer up, it is only an overdraft of their bodies!"

Gao Bo thought for a while: "That's it, Haruko! I promise you, as long as the players' physical fitness shows signs of exhaustion, I will change my tactics immediately!"

"In fact, I just want to establish enough advantage in the first half of the game!"

Seeing that Haruko was still worried, Gao Bo explained.

He is not a tyrant and can't tolerate the slightest doubt from others, so when members of the coaching staff put forward their opinions, Gao Bo will always respect them.

"Hi! Gao Bo-jun!"

Gao Bo quickly helped Haruko, who was bowing ninety degrees, to stand up. This Japanese likes to bow wherever he goes... ()
