Chapter 74 We Are Better than Them

Chapter 74 We are better than them

"Jamie Vardy!!!! Beautiful goal!!!" Letkinson jumped up from his seat!

When Kante tackled Robinho again, he didn't expect to see such a beautiful goal. The style of this goal is too inconsistent with Vardy's image. Even if Vardy hits a shot from the edge of the penalty area, Letkinson will not be so surprised.

Worth Road was completely ignited by Vardy's goal, so fans in orange jerseys jumped from their seats, and the Worth Stand raised their arms like a forest! !

Vardy saw the football fall into the net while he was running. When he turned the ball around, the opponent's goalkeeper was about to rush in front of him.

In fact, before Vardy swung his right foot, he was thinking of a burst shot, but when he saw the opponent's goalkeeper getting closer and closer, he temporarily changed his attention.

Why not try a lob shot?

So when Vardy picked up the ball with his toes, he saw the ball go over the goalkeeper's head and knew it was there! !

"Good goal!!! One-to-zero!!!" He Hongfa was also so excited in China, "No one thought that Luton would be the first to score!! If they can eliminate Manchester City, they can break into the football team. The quarter-finals of the Cup!! This is a great encouragement for this small team in the second division!! They are the biggest dark horse in the FA Cup these past few seasons!!!”

"Manchester City's players could not have imagined that they conceded the ball so early in the first half, and with Luton's starting stance, they sent five defensive midfielders, which seemed to be a defensive stance, but it was Jamie Vardy seized the opportunity to counterattack in the first half and scored a goal!! This is really a beautiful goal, this goal is enough to compete for the best goal in this round of FA Cup The ball, the precise long-pass counterattack, the beautiful lead and dash, the unparalleled impact, the light-lifting lob!!!" Redknapp has now completely lost the attitude that he was not optimistic about Luton before, and he is now incarnate as Luton. Ton fans.

"Maybe the person Manchester City should buy the most is not Kaka, but Jamie Vardy..." Letkinson said jokingly.

Unexpectedly, Redknapp really thought about it: "In my opinion, for Manchester City, Jamie Vardy may really be more suitable than Kaka. This is a natural shooter with a keen sense of smell. , running actively, and has a full impact on the opponent's defense!!!"

Letkinson laughed, he was just joking, he definitely didn't think Jamie Vardy was a better player than Kaka: "Now Luton after scoring their confidence has skyrocketed, their morale has skyrocketed, and Manchester City has It looks like I was stunned..."

Letkinson is right, Manchester City was indeed beaten. They did not expect that they would concede a goal not long after the first half, and the opponent scored such a beautiful goal, and it can be seen that it was completely through The tactical way of scoring goals, Vardy's movement, Drinkwater's long pass, and Vardy's handling in front of goal also let Manchester City players see Vardy's strength.

This is not a fish belly that they can slaughter.

The goal shattered the balance of the pitch and tipped the scale of victory slightly in Luton's favour.

And this goal also completely ignited the passion of the Luton players. They pressed more aggressively and ran more diligently, as if their physical fitness was endless.

Gao Bo of course knows how strong Manchester City's lineup is on paper, but football is not a game of numbers.

If Luton let go of the attack against Manchester City, perhaps Luton would die without a burial. Bellamy and Robinho, two strikers with first-class skills and speed, will definitely make Luton's defense lose sight of one and the other.

On the strength of the players,

Luton is definitely not as good as Manchester City, but Luton also has several players with excellent ability, the most important of which is Kante. With the increase of cards, now Kante seems to be an ace in the hands of Gao Bo in terms of statistics. , his coverage in midfield, his running, and his interception ability are all top-notch! ! So Gao Bo is very realistic. Based on Kante's strong point and Vardy's characteristics, he used the most common style of play between weak teams and strong teams, stabilized defense, and waited for opportunities to counterattack!

Five defensive midfielders, coupled with excellent interceptors like Kante, gave Gao Bo the confidence to defend against Manchester City's attack. The role of the five midfielders is to defend. With Kante restraining Robinho and Bellamy being targeted, City's two most threatening attackers don't have a good chance yet. What really gave him the confidence to deploy a single striker was Vardy's excellent impact. This future Premier League golden boot has endless physical fitness. He can run desperately throughout the game and use his running to continue to impact. Manchester City's defence.

In the midfield confrontation, in the face of Luton's tough defense and physical movement, Manchester City soon fell into the disadvantage. Manchester City tried a few long balls, but they were directly pushed back to midfield by Luton's two central defenders. Robinho is not the kind of striker with three headers at all.

Seeing the situation on the field, Mark Hughes began to think about the adjustment of substitutions in the second half. It's only 20 minutes into the first half, and it's not yet time for substitutions. Mark Hughes decided to wait and see what a star like Robinho could do.

But he waited, not waiting for Manchester City's goal, but waiting for their goal.

In the 38th minute of the game, Luton, who had been defending in the backcourt before, suddenly started to press from a high position.

Manchester City's players were unprepared. In the frontcourt, Sabalet was directly stolen by Drinkwater, and then Drinkwater took a step forward after the steal and completed a long-range shot.

In the face of Drinkwater's long-range shot, Manchester City goalkeeper Shay made a save! !

Amid the high-decibel cheers at the scene, Vardy rushed into the penalty area like a cheetah, shot a shot from the instep, and the football slammed into the net! ! !

"goooooooooooooooooal!!!!!! 2-0!!! Unbelievable!!!! Manchester City were beaten away by Luton!!! Vardy again!!! He scored a brace!!! BEAUTIFUL !!!!"

Gao Bo jumped from the sidelines, raising his arms, and also jumped to celebrate, and the 10,000 Luton fans at Worth Stadium also shouted: "Gooooooal!!!!!!"

"This is Luton's second goal. They are so imposing now. Manchester City, who are playing away, didn't expect them to be hit so hard in the first half. Do you want to stage a good show of the dark horse counterattack again!! They are now very likely to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup!!!”

With Letkinson's voice reaching thousands of households on TV screens, everyone watching the game applauded Luton's performance, except, of course, Manchester City fans....

Gao Bo excitedly hugged and celebrated with John, and Lin Sen also joined the celebration.

"See, they just put eleven players on the field, and we are a whole!!" Gao Bo stretched out his hand, "They are slaps with five fingers apart, and we are held tightly by five fingers. fist!!"

Gao Bo clenched his fist: "We are better than them!!! Guys!!"

Gao Bo really thinks so in his heart. Mark Hughes tries hard to play the individual abilities of several Manchester City stars, while ignoring the team as a whole.

Not to mention Robinho now, even at his peak, it would be very difficult to let him dribble the ball to a complete and solid defense. Manchester City have struggled so much this season, and their Tactical play doesn't matter.

Mark Hughes is so obsessed with the ability of stars to go it alone.

Of course, that's not to say players can't have their own minds. In fact, Gao Bo did not restrict the movement and movements of the offensive players on the field very much. Instead, he encouraged the players to use their imagination and creativity on the field. Sometimes, the inspiration of talented players Many problems can be solved at once.

Just like that shot by Vardy.

However, the premise of letting the stars play is that the team needs to help them create space for them to fully play.

Mark Hughes obviously didn't want to understand this, or the transfer fee of hundreds of millions of euros made him dizzy...

Gao Bo didn't care about this, he clenched his fist and repeated: "We are so much better than those Manchester guys!!"
