Chapter 71 Want to sign?
On February 14, the Worth Stadium in Luton city centre,
Facing a team like Manchester City at home, Luton fans showed great enthusiasm for this round of the FA Cup. This is the first time in the team's history to play the fifth round of the FA Cup. Every minute of this event is creating history that belongs to the team.
Even though the game didn't start until five o'clock in the afternoon, after lunch, people were already gathering from all directions at Worth Field in downtown.
The fans were elated, they treated the game as a big party. Because even if Luton beat Chelsea in an upset, not many teams are optimistic that the team led by Gao Bo can continue to create miracles-a victory can be said to be a miracle, if it keeps winning?
That is really strength. Not many people want to believe that Luton in the second league really has the strength to play in the Premier League, even if they perform well in the second league.
However, because of Luton's performance in the last round of the FA Cup, and there was no strong dialogue in this round of the FA Cup, Sky Sports chose this game to be broadcast live.
They probably think that this game has enough hot spots. After all, the news about Manchester City signings these days will inevitably mention Luton, the blessing of Manchester City, and Luton, a League Two team, has also been frequently mentioned recently. appear on top of mainstream media coverage.
......
Today's weather is good, sunny England makes people feel that it is winter at this time, which is the opposite of the cloudy and rainy weather a few days ago.
When Gao Bo got off the team bus, he couldn't help but fascinated his eyes, because the sun was still a little dazzling.
At this time, the outdoor temperature was about 15 or 6 degrees, but because of the sun, Gao Bo, who was wearing a woolen suit jacket, felt a little hot. He took off his suit jacket and directed at the fans who were watching not far away. They waved.
As usual, Gao Bo received warm cheers from the onlookers, who chanted Gao Bo's name and applauded him.
The coach who led the team to make history in the FA Cup is also the most important person to lead the team out of the slump. Although Gao Bo came to Luton for half a year, he is already one of the most respected people in the city. .
The players got off the bus and they were also warmly welcomed.
Such a scene can be seen in every Luton home game.
....
Manchester City have been in good form lately.
From January to now, the Premier League has not been intensive. Manchester City have played a total of five games, with three wins and two losses. Although the ratio of losses is quite high, it is worth mentioning that Manchester City's three victories are all in the last three games. In other words, Manchester City has ushered in a three-game winning streak recently.
Compared with Manchester City's eight games in December, which were four draws, four losses, and one winless record, the pressure on Manchester City's players recently is much less.
So, in the visiting locker room at Worth Stadium, the Manchester City players chatted wildly, with laughter often coming from their doors.
Mark Hughes is also in a good mood. It is really cool to be the head coach of a team like Manchester City. Not only is the salary super high, but there will never be any problems with the transfer budget. The Arabs have money and invest in Manchester City. This amount of money is not even a drop in the bucket.
Mark Hughes has studied the Luton team carefully and has to admit that this is indeed a well-trained, disciplined and very innovative team, which is no wonder they can play in the second league. the current results.
So in the locker room, Mark Hughes said with a serious expression: "This team is a team with certain strength, although they are in the second league now, but in terms of strength, they can even reach the level of the British Championship. !! We must not take it lightly!"
"Do not worry,
Boss, no matter what, it's just a League B team. As long as we get serious, they have no chance at all! "Robinho, the team's top star, said with a smile.
Robinho is a typical Brazilian, he always seems to be in a good mood, he always has a smile on his face, and he can smile at anyone.
The Manchester City players also liked him very much. After all, no one would hate a generous Brazilian who invites himself to a nightclub every day.
Mark Hughes actually agrees with Robinho's statement, but as a coach, he always takes all situations into account, but he can't be as optimistic as the players.
"Robbie, you have to be careful of the opponent's No. 6 player Kante! The Frenchman's defensive ability is very strong, and this is a tough defensive player." Mark Hughes reminded.
Robinho has a lot of the ball at Manchester City and he has also scored quite a few goals for Manchester City this season. The former Real Madrid No. 10 player is now the absolute peace of mind for Manchester City. The transfer fee of 42 million euros also makes him the king of the summer transfer window this season, as well as the transfer king in the history of the Premier League. .
But what's interesting is that according to Robinho himself, before he came to Manchester, he always thought that the team he negotiated with him was Chelsea...
The Brazilians didn't care about Mark Hughes' reminder.
They are just players in the second league, how can they be stronger?
.....
"You are responsible for watching Robinho, N'Golo!!!"
In the home team's locker room, Gao Bo emphasized to Kante.
Although Robinho's subsequent career was not smooth, he was removed from many teams, and ultimately failed to make a name for himself. The current Robinho has also declined compared to the Real Madrid period, but after all, he is not far from his peak period, so he is also Manchester City's biggest threat on the field.
In the face of Robinho, who is fast, frequent and flexible, Luton's two tall central defenders are definitely not enough for him, so Gao Bo decided to give Kante the task of defending Robinho.
With Kante's fighting ability, Robinho's speed and dribbling may not be so easy to work.
"Don't worry, boss!! I promise to give him no chance at all." Kanter grinned. Against the background of his dark skin, Kanter showed his big white teeth, looking particularly simple and honest...
"You should be fierce so the striker will be afraid of you, N'Golo..."
Gao Bo is a little helpless. Kante is good everywhere, and the task on the court is also done well, but he really doesn't look like a fierce defender.
The Luton players in the dressing room also laughed.
......
When the players from both sides lined up to stand in the tunnel, Kante was just opposite Robinho.
The Brazilian glanced at Kante, who was also very friendly with a simple and honest smile.
Robinho's face is full of black lines, we are opponents now, boy, have you figured out the situation!
Robinho's confidence in this game has risen a lot again. In the face of such a simple-looking child, Robinho, who has made a lot of fame on the court, does not take him seriously. .
"Do you want an autograph, boy?"
Robinho bent over to straighten the shin guards inserted in the socks, stood up straight and continued: "After the game, I can give it to you."
Kanter's smile fades away...
"After the game, I don't mind signing your autograph!" Vardy came up to show his teammates.
