Chapter 165 Youth Guards: Leeds United
The Luton team returned to England by plane the next morning.
The players were so excited the night before that they fell asleep on the plane the next day.
Gao Bo had a good rest. The results of another match in the same group also came out. Basel won Roma 2-0 at home. This result is not surprising to Gao Bo, because although Rome is more famous than Basel, when it comes to strength, the two teams are really evenly matched.
Basel is a giant in the Swiss Super League, and its strength should not be underestimated. It is just that because of the small league of the Swiss Super League, many foreign fans do not understand them. In particular, Basel's home record is particularly strong. In their home stadium, Jacob Park, even a big team like Manchester United did not get any cheap. Moreover, Roma has been in poor condition recently, and Ranieri’s team has lost three straight in the league.
In this way, after the two games of the group, Luton and Basel currently have three points in the standings. Both sides have the same goal difference and number of goals, so the two sides are now tied for the first place in the group.
But the next round of the group stage will be a direct dialogue between the two teams, so Gao Bo also focused on the Basel team.
After returning to Luton, the team took a day off and immediately started preparing for the league game.
Since the most recent games have been one game for about three or four days, the team's training volume is not too great. The team is more to do some more relaxed contact projects, such as small games or something.
"The number of passes in the penalty area must not exceed five! If you haven't shot the goal after five times, or if the shot is blocked by a defensive player other than the goalkeeper and does not hit the goal frame, you will be punished!" On the training ground, Gao Bo announced the rules of the game.
Gao Bo divided the team into two groups to practice fast passing in the penalty area to cultivate the players' tacit understanding. In this way, the general practice method of the game is easy, not to make the players feel too tired, and the effect is also good.
There was a lot of laughter on the training ground. The losing team did push-ups to the cheers of the winner. Of course, they also had a smile on their faces.
Gao Bo observes the effect of training on the sidelines. The opportunities in the penalty area are fleeting, so he hopes his players can learn to handle the ball decisively in the penalty area.
September 21, the eighth round of the league, Luton challenged Leeds away!
The first division has played seven rounds so far, and there are three teams that have not lost yet. Charlton at the top of the list and Leeds United, who are second in the standings, both have six wins, one draw and 19 Luton, who is third in the league, scored 15 minutes with four wins and three draws, so the result of this game is likely to destroy a team's undefeated golden body.
"We will not pay attention to the undefeated record. The team currently ranks third in the league. If we want to climb, we must make a difference when facing the top two teams in the standings." Gao Bo was in the game. Said at the previous press conference.
"We focus on upgrading, no matter what opponent, our goal is to get three points!" Leeds United coach Simon Grayson did not show weakness.
Grayson took over from Gary McAllister, who was fired because of his poor record, and moved to the Whites after Christmas last season. After a painful experience with a bad record last season, Leeds United began to explode in the second half of the season. , Grayson eventually led the team to fourth in the standings, but lost to Millwall 1-2 in the semi-finals of the promotion playoffs.
This season has just begun. Grayson's team is in very good condition. At present, they have six wins and one draw and remain unbeaten. They are tied for the top of the league table with Charlton!
Gao Bo is very familiar with Leeds United because they are very famous.
Leeds United’s local nicknames in England include "Whites", "United" and "The Peacock" (derived from the name "Old Peacock Field" before Elland Road Stadium). The English abbreviation of the team is "LUFC".
However, the domestic media and fans in China prefer to call Leeds United as the "White Rose" or "Youth Guards!"
Leeds United had a very glorious time. They were the last champions of the old League One. In the years 1998-2001, O'Reilly and his Leeds United were considered one of the best teams in Europe. At that time, Leeds United had many talented young players including Cowell, Bowyer, Hart, Alan Smith, Woodgate and Robbie Keane. Leeds United was also dubbed "Youth" by the Chinese media at the time. Guards" title.
However, due to the club's financial problems, many players from the team left, the restless locker room and the team's performance on the court caused Leeds United to fall into complete turmoil. They were first relegated from the Premier League to the English Championship, and then in the 2006-2007 season, the club was financially managed and 10 league points were deducted. They were relegated to the third tier for the first time in history.
After two years of sinking in the First Division, Leeds United’s financial chaos has been eased and the team has finally re-entered the right track. This season, Leeds United also looks like a great opportunity to return to the Premier League.
Of course, for Leeds United fans, what they hope more is for Leeds United to return to the Premier League. It's just that in today's competitive environment, it is indeed too difficult for Leeds to return to the Premier League.
However, Gao Bo doesn't want to worry about what the fans of Leeds United are thinking. For him, the gold content of Leeds United is still very high. They are currently the best-performing team in the First Division, and Gao Bo still vaguely remembers, After the end of this season, Leeds United returned to the Championship.
So this is the strongest opponent in the first division~lightnovelpub.net~ Gao Bo dare not take it lightly.
"They are a very dangerous team, but this opponent can also test the quality of the best team in the first division. What can we do when facing the best team in the league? Performance, whether our training results can be realized on the field, just look at the results of this game against Leeds United!" In the dressing room before the game, Gao Bo made the final mobilization of the players.
"The frontcourt oppresses them!! Force them!! Fast!!! Direct!!!"
The high volume has increased.
"We have always used this method to win, and this time is the same!!"
"Go on!! Guys!!!"
Gao Bo waved his arms, while the Luton team players stood up, strutting out of the locker room.
When the players ran out of the player tunnel, Gao Bo became excited when he heard the huge cheers from the fans.
The feeling of standing on the sidelines directing the game is exciting.
Football head coach is the best position in the world!
Gao Bo clapped and thought.
Passion comes from love, and Gao Bo is obsessed with it.
