Chapter 15 The Football That Brings Victory!

　　 The day's training began again. With the ambition to upgrade, Gao Bo has devoted infinite enthusiasm to his work.

　　 upgrade may be a fantasy for Luton, who is negative thirty points at this time, but not for Gao Bo.

　　 The second division has four places for promotion to the first division. The top three in the league can advance directly, and the third to the seventh in the league will compete for another qualification to be promoted to the first division.

　　 This also means that if Luton wants to upgrade, the most secure league ranking is seventh. As long as it can get seventh in the league, then Luton can create miracles through the upgrade playoffs.

　　 So how hard is it to get seventh?

Gao Bo has seen the final points of seventh in the second division in the past few seasons. Last season’s seventh in the league was the Wellcome Rangers. Their final points were 69 points. In the 2006-2007 season, The seventh in the league was Seaspoli, who finally scored 71 points. The seventh in the league in the 2005-2006 season was Lincoln City, and they finally got 70 points.

　　 In the previous few seasons, the seventh place in the league was mostly hovering around 70 points.

Seventy points in the league can probably be around seventh, and Gao Bo does not want to pin his hopes on luck-seventy points is not insurance. Therefore, Gao Bo's goal this season is to eventually get seventy. More than five points! !

If 30 points were not deducted, Gao Bo would still be confident of getting 75 points, but under the current conditions, he wants to get more than 75 points at the end of the season, which means Luton is actually going to grab one hundred and five points this season!

　　 There are 24 teams in the English Second Division, a total of 46 league rounds. In theory, a team can get a maximum of 138 points. But in the long league, no team can maintain forty-eight consecutive victories-football matches are often full of chance, injuries, player status, coaching staff's tactical arrangements, weather and many other factors will affect it. The progress of a game.

England’s second division championship score has been around ninety points over the years. That is to say, if Luton wants to score 105 points, it must be better than all the teams that have won the championship in the second division. Good performance!

　　...

　　 With the addition of Jeffrey, Gao Bo’s main lineup has been roughly determined, and the team has gradually entered the overall tactical training to ease.

　　 In the tactics designed by Gao Bo, he referred to the great Milan of Sacchi-using the 442 formation to fully compress the space. Whether it is defense or offense, the three lines need to be sufficiently close.

　　 Sacchi’s tactical concept has influenced many modern coaches, and Gao Bo, as a head coach, naturally cannot bypass the research on Sacchi.

　　Saki’s most famous quote is "If our forwards and defenders stay within 25 meters, then we are invincible." Sacchi's football philosophy is really influenced by the Dutch culture of full defense. Milan, under his command, played a typical high position and full defense. When the opponent got the ball in the backcourt, they began to approach and put pressure on the opponent. The high-post press is matched with the defense line led by Baresi. The defense against the sky and the invincible cooperation of the goal made countless forwards suffer. There used to be a joke saying that as long as the lineman watched Baresi raise his hand, it must be an offside kick. I didn't even think about it. Later, it was said that FIFA changed the offside rules because Milan's offside was too invincible.

In the future, when the 442 looks rather old-fashioned position is gradually declining, the Argentine Simeone picked up the 442 again. Simeone improved the 442 and gave up the traditional 442. The use of open wingers instead uses two wingers who are very close to the center, forming an airtight center defense, a tight formation, a high degree of discipline, and a sturdy style of play. Atletico Madrid became one of the best defensive teams in Europe at the time.

In terms of offense, Gao Bo also used the 442 third-line overall pressure strategy. When he was off the ball, he required both forwards to participate in the team's frontcourt pressure. From the forward, he began to oppress the harassment. If the opponent's passing organization can break the ball in the frontcourt, this will undoubtedly give the team a very good opportunity to counterattack. With the ball, Gao Bo requires the team to cooperate quickly on the ground and strive to develop the ball to the opponent's core zone between three or two passes, and to complete the shot within seven passes. !

　　 Gao Bo is not a fan of a certain tactical philosophy. For Gao Bo, he will only choose the tactics that suit his team-those tactics that can bring the team victory, he is the only winner!

　　 Combining Gao Bo's own understanding of tactics and referring to the future development of football tactics, Gao Bo gradually integrated his understanding of football into Luton's team.

　　 In training, several players brought by Gao Bo gradually showed their strength.

　　 Valdy and Charlie Austin both forwards showed great scoring ability, at least now there is no Luton player who would doubt their ability. And Kanter and Drinkwater, the midfield partner, also showed strong midfield control. Kanter's near-invincible stealing ability made almost all the players who were shorter than Messi. The black guy is full of respect.

　　 With the effect of training cards, Luton's training progressed very smoothly.

　　 Of course, before the start of the season, the team still has to conduct an airport warm-up match to test the team's training results.

　　 The opponents of the first warm-up match are from the fifth tier England National Parliament League Oxford United. This match was played at Luton’s own training base, without fans or reporters.

Gao Bo did not send his main lineup in the first half, but first gave some marginal players of the team a chance. Before the start of the league, Gao Bo was willing to give everyone the opportunity to play and let these young players show the head coach. Own determination and attitude.

　　 But even in the face of fifth-level players, Luton’s young people still failed to perform well. At the end of the first half, Luton was already behind by zero to three.

Gao Bo shook his head as he watched from the sidelines. Luton sold his main lineup almost. If it is for these young people who drive ducks from the youth training camp to the second division to fight this season, even if it is The great Ferguson has nothing to do with this.

　　 Fortunately, this was just a warm-up match. After the start of the second half, Gao Bo replaced all the players who started the first half and replaced him with his main lineup.

The goalkeeper sent in the 21-year-old Claude Rondo, the small goalkeeper was the team’s third goalkeeper when Luton was still in the Championship season, and as the team was relegated, Claude- Rondo finally stood in the position of the team's number one goalkeeper.

The central defender combination still makes Gao Bo very relieved. George Parker partnered with Jeffrey. George Parker is 190 centimeters tall. He has good defensive positioning and supplementary ability. The frontal defensive ability is also quite good. Jeffrey is tall. Although slightly shorter, his strong body and excellent jumping make up for his lack of height. In fact, in high altitude defense, he is even better than George Parker, who is a few centimeters taller than him.

In the two full-backs on the left and right, Gao Bo finally chose two young players, Mitchell Piran from Ireland. The only 18-year-old player is currently the only international in Luton’s lineup-he He is a member of the Irish U19. He is one hundred and eighty-eight centimeters tall. He can play right back, right midfielder, midfielder, and sometimes even central back. He is a panacea player, but Gao Bo still likes to put him on the right. The position of the guard. Left back Solo Davis, a 19-year-old black player, is 176 cm tall, strong and fast. The only thing that worries Gao Bo is the offensive tendencies of this young player. A full-back with a strong desire to attack. Gao Bo quietly gave Davis a nickname to deepen his impression of him-in Gao Bo's notebook, Davis's note was "Luton Marcelo"

In the midfield, there is no question in the midfield because of the combination of Kanter and Drinkwater. Gao Bo is very confident in the combination of these two midfielders, and the team captain Kevin Keane was placed by Gao Bo. The position of the midfielder on the right ~lightnovelpub.net~ As for the midfielder on the left, Gao Bo chose the 19-year-old young player Lewis Emanuel. This 173 cm tall player can play the left back or It is a defensive midfielder, and the most important factor for Gao Bo's fancy to this player is not Lewis' technical ability, but his mental attributes-this is a player who is extremely good in terms of work commitment and willpower, and he has Considerable teamwork ability and very high participation in defense. With him on the left, he can more or less make up for the gap left by Davis, who likes to advance assists.

　　 The combination of forwards is naturally the combination of Vardy and-Charlie Austin!

After the start of the second half, the Oxford United team found that their opponents were suddenly reborn. They were almost suffocated by the pressure of Luton's airtight frontcourt in the back. In the end, Oxford United's defense line soon appeared problems. A pass error in the midfield gave Luton a chance to counterattack. Vardy advanced at high speed and scored with a kick! Scored his first goal on behalf of Luton.

　　 Then Luton scored another goal in the same way, this time it was Charlie Austin!

　　Oxford United was completely defeated under the impact of Luton, and then Vardy scored two goals and staged a hat trick. Charlie Austin added the icing on the cake and scored twice!

　　 High center Matt Schmidt also got a chance to play, he replaced Charlie Austin. Soon Matt Schmidt also scored a goal. He took a corner kick and scored with a header.

　　 The three forwards scored six goals and helped Luton complete the second half of the game!

　　 Gao Bo was very excited at the side. After the game, he turned to his assistant John Aston and said: ‘Did you see it, John! This is our football! ! Football that brings victory! ! ’
