Chapter 167 The Counterfeit Object in Barcelona
The time has entered September, the wheat in the wheat field has turned yellow, and Luton seems to have entered the harvest season. From September to now, except for the first two days since the beginning of September, they were eliminated from the UK Championship and then tied with Trampier in the first round of make-up matches. In the remaining few games, they maintained a winning streak.
The overall situation of the team is going up!Despite the intensive schedule, Gao Bo played a very good role in adjusting the team's state.Since the big victory over Exeter City on September [-], the team has won four consecutive victories on all fronts!
On September 26, the last game in September, Luton faced Norwich at home.
Gao Bo's goal in this game is of course victory, but because of the frequent matches, he still made some position rotations.
On the front line, Matt Schmidt got the opportunity to start the league for the first time this season, and his partner was Griezmann, and the midfielder Drinkwater took turns, and Joseph Ander replaced him.The central defender combination on the defensive line has become a partner of Jeffrey and George Parker. Sol Campbell continues to rest. After all, this veteran is here because of his age.
This is actually the reason why Gao Bo did not prepare a huge lineup. If someone in the team does not have the opportunity to play, then there must be some problems within the team. The huge gap between the main force and the substitute last season actually made it difficult for Gao Bo to employ people in many games.
One to zero!Luton's rotation also scored valuable three points.
Although the score was not big in this game, the process was convincing. Luton, who played at home, dominated the situation on the field from beginning to end, and they finally beat their opponent with a goal by Griezmann!
This ball best exemplifies Matt's aerial ability.Kevin Keane's cross passed into the penalty area, Matt headed the ball back to the front of the penalty area, Griezmann volleyed with his right foot after inserting it, the football hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into the net!This goal made the Worth stand stand boil after waiting for more than 70 minutes.
Although there was only one goal in this game, in fact Luton had [-] shots in the game, seven of which were within the range of the goal frame.The reason why there was only one goal in this game was because of Norwich's united defense and their excellent goalkeeper in this game.
But no matter what the process is, the result is good. Griezmann's goal helped the team continue to bite the top two in the standings.
Both Charlton and Leeds United have won successively, so the team is still ranked No.3.If the season ends with this ranking, Luton will go to the promotion play-offs. Gao Bo doesn't want to waste time in the play-offs. He hopes that the team can be promoted to the British Championship as the champion of the First Division.So this ranking did not meet Gao Bo's expectations, but he was not in a hurry. After all, the league had just started, and after a few twists and turns in the early season, the team seemed to be on the right track.
On October [-]st, the team ushered in another home game, but this time it was the Europa League group stage.
The team will face Basel at home!
Currently in Group E where Luton is located, Basel was upset at home in the first round. They defeated the Roma team 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 the game can be played well!" In the press conference before the game, Gao Bo paid great attention to Basel.
Roma is not a weak team, Gao Bo knows this very well, and Gao Bo has never dared to underestimate Ranieri. Being able to beat Roma shows that Basel's strength is not bad.
Compared with Gao Bo's cautiousness, Basel's head coach Torsten Fink seemed a bit frivolous in the 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. If you want to win the first place in the group, you must score enough points on both Luton and CSKA Sofia."
This is Torsten Fink’s true thoughts. He actually attaches great importance to the Luton team, because he believes that Luton has the ability to win by surprise, so before the start of the game, Torsten Fink said to his disciples with a very solemn face: “We must attach great importance to this game. If we want to win the first place in the group, the home and away game against Luton will be the key. , but they won the FA Cup last season, which shows that this team has considerable strength. We cannot take it lightly!"
Torsten Fink's expression was very serious: "Therefore, we need to score as soon as possible. As long as we lead, Luton basically has nothing to do. The timing of the first goal is critical! If we are unable to score for a long time, then I will worry about our defense. Luton's counterattack 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 beat Roma!" Gao Bo said standing in the middle of the locker room. As soon as he said this, the faces of the players became serious.
Basel is not well-known, but they defeated the Serie A team Roma [-]-[-] at home just two weeks ago!
"Everyone knows how we will finish the game. We have our tactics, and we also have our style. We have strengthened these things many times in training, so I won't talk about tactics." Gao Bo raised his finger: "Let me just say that Basel is a team that focuses on ground control. We can't let them enter their own rhythm of the game. They like to control the ball in the midfield, so we pester them in the midfield!! Cut off the connection between their midfielders, so that they can't pass the ball, and cut the game!!!"
"Be careful with the set kicks, try not to give them free kicks near the penalty area!! The Basel team has several free kick masters, such as their NO.30 Carlitos and N'Golo. Control the place of the foul and try to attack as far away from the penalty area as possible!" Gao Bo turned to face Kanter and said.
Kanter nodded, and he understood.
"Of course, they may not be able to pass through the midfield so easily. In this game, we still press from the frontcourt and strive to complete the steal in the midfield!!" Gao Bo raised his right hand.
"And after stealing the ball," Gao Bo suddenly lowered his raised hand, "Counterattack!! Destroy them!!!"
"The opponent is already waiting for us!! Get out now!! Kill them!!!"
Gao Bo opened the door of the locker room, and the players walked out confidently.
Players from 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 drizzling rain in the sky outside, and when the cheers of the fans in the stands rose suddenly, the players of the two teams had already lined up to the field.
Gao Bo stood next to the coach's bench, and he looked at the backs of the Basel players.
Gao Bo thought he was playing football with Barcelona if he just looked at his back
Basel's home jersey is also the same red and blue striped shirt as Barcelona, and speaking of it, it is not a coincidence that both teams have this color jersey.
FCBarcelona (FC Barcelona) and FCBasel (FC Basel), the abbreviations of the two clubs are FCB—on November 1893, 11, Basel Football Club was officially announced.Gamper and Basel have had a profound influence on Barcelona. When choosing jerseys for the new club, Gamper chose the same red and blue colors as Basel, so Basel has the same name in German, Barcelona in Catalonia and Spanish: "Red and Blue".
And to a certain extent, the red and blue striped shirt is copied by Barcelona from Basel.
Gao Bo squinted and glanced at Basel coach Torsten Fink on the other side.
Unfortunately, you are not real Barcelona
The German regarded Luton as their goal before the game, which made Gao Bo secretly happy. The more Basel looked down on Luton, the more likely Luton would score three points at home!For Gao Bo, Basel is also his object of scoring. In terms of the strength of this group, Ranieri's Roma is of course the strongest on paper, so before the start of the game, Gao Bo was determined to get all three points from Basel, so that the team can occupy a favorable form in the standings as soon as possible.
Even if Basel does not underestimate the enemy, they may not be able to win Luton!Gao Bo has absolute confidence in his team.
The drizzling rain made the players in Basel feel cool. The weather in September has turned cold, and the rain is always chilly. Compared with Switzerland, the weather in England at this time makes the players in Basel feel a little uncomfortable.
It's good that the game ran away. Torsten Fink also frowned. Since arriving here, the sky has been raining non-stop.
Compared with their opponents, Luton's players don't feel the slightest, they have long been accustomed to this climate.
The players of both sides took their positions according to their respective formations, and the captains of both sides completed a series of ceremonies such as picking sides.The referee blows the whistle, and the game officially begins!
